If you’ve picked up a game controller at any point over the last three decades, there’s a chance you would have played a bit of The Settlers. A series that first launched to the world some thirty years ago, it’s gone through a ton of iterations.

From Ubisoft teams, The Settlers: New Allies on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch is the most recent of the iconic series. A strategy game with depth, this one has been rebuilt from the ground up to work perfectly on console.
