In the beta build of Ubisoft’s The Settlers, I’ve watched my empire burn to the ground a whole bunch of times now. This is the latest entry in the long-running city-building and real-time strategy series, which began way back in 1993 for the Commodore Amiga. There have been six sequels since, plus a number of spin-offs including a free online browser game. The past decade, however, has been a rough patch for the series. An eighth game was planned for 2014, but its closed beta was poorly received and the game was never completed. This new reboot has had some major problems reaching players as well: it was originally intended to be released in 2019, then delayed until 2020, then postponed indefinitely. At long last, The Settlers is now, finally, poised to be released this March.

Today, it proudly stands alongside its singleplayer peers. Here's how TESO escaped Oblivion's grasp and reconnected with Elder Scrolls fans.
