Ubisoft has announced that the open beta for Anno Online has officially kicked off as of today. Interested players can swing by the site to sign up and get started playing Anno Online which brings classic Anno series features to the game as well as new features that fit a persistent online world.

The closed beta of Anno Online^® was a great success due to the high stability and the good performance provided by the game. To celebrate the end of the closed beta, players current accounts won’t be wiped and active users will automatically receive a decorative gift to thank them for their involvement: a nice deco statue. Players who continue to play the game during the first week of the open beta will also be rewarded and will get an exclusive in-game item: a premium ship. This boat gives access to some nice features as it can carry more freight and is faster than usual ones.

Head to the Anno Online site to get started.
