02.04.2025New Beginnings for The Settlers Online
Dear The Settlers Online Community,
Today marks a historic date for The Settlers Online. After 15 long and eventful years, Ubisoft Düsseldorf is handing over the reins to CipSoft, a new, trusted partner who will continue operating and developing the game.
This is a bittersweet moment for us, as The Settlers Online has and will always be a very special game for us. Its launch back in 2010 was a huge milestone for our studio and has had a significant impact on our growth and success.
Just as importantly, it kickstarted an exciting journey which we embarked on together with all of you, The Settlers Online community. Together, we made tons of great memories, engaged in inspiring discussions and – last, but certainly not least - played The Settlers Online. We are incredibly grateful for having experienced so many great moments with you both inside and outside the game.
However, the time has come for us to pass the torch to a new partner. We want to see the game grow further and evolve, and there is no doubt for us that CipSoft will be up more than to the task.
This journey is far from over! We’d be thrilled if you could show our friends at CipSoft the same openness that has characterized our time together. We’ll be proudly watching from the sidelines, knowing that you and CipSoft will work together and allow The Settlers Online to reach new heights.
If you want to learn more about CipSoft from the team itself, check out this forum post. Meet the new team and find out more about their plans and ambitions for TSO.
Again, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you all the best with The Settlers Online going forward.
All the best,
Your TSO Community-Team
