The long running and popular Settlers franchise is set to make a comeback next spring when Ubisoft releases Settlers 7 for the PC. An awesome trailer was released recently for the game that does well to highlight some of the features of the new game. Players can choose from three paths to triumph – military, science and trade – with a new victory points system.

I remember many years ago when I first was introduced to the Settlers franchise, I think it was Settlers 4, I installed the demo for the game off a free demo CD I got with a magazine and it was so much fun to play. The medival setting with memorable characters and artstyle made it very memorable and I am looking forward to playing this when it gets released next year. read more…
