13.08.2025 - 'Die Siedler II Gold Edition' is coming to Amiga (AGA)
The legendary classic building strategy game is finally coming to the Amiga! In 1993, The Settlers revolutionised gaming on the Amiga and invented a completely new genre: the building strategy game. When the even more ambitious sequel, The Settlers II, was released in 1996 and is still loved by fans today, the king of home computers did not get it. Almost 30 years later, this gaming history is finally being corrected! Officially licensed by Ubisoft Entertainment, The Settlers II Gold Edition will be available natively for the Amiga from 18 October 2025. Not as a quick port, but as a lovingly optimised version that shows what the Amiga is really capable of.
