Well this is incredible news, as one of my all time favourite games ‘The Settlers II’ is coming to the Commodore Amiga AGA as of October 18th 2025. According to the press release : After almost 30 years, The Settlers II will finally be available on the Amiga starting October 18, 2025! Officially licensed by Ubisoft Entertainment, the Gold Edition of this legendary city-building strategy game has been faithfully and insightfully ported by Look Behind You, proving that true classics are timeless.
Furthermore they go on to say. “In 1993, The Settlers made a major impact on Amiga gaming and created a whole new genre: the city-building strategy game. When the even more ambitious sequel, The Settlers II, was released in 1996, it was a huge success and remains a fan favorite to this day. Unfortunately, the king of home computers missed out on it. Almost 30 years later, this gaming history is finally being corrected! With an official license from Ubisoft Entertainment, The Settlers II Gold Edition will be available natively for the Amiga on October 18, 2025. Not as a quick port, but as a lovingly optimized version that shows what the Amiga is really capable of”.
