Echoes of Kassandra cosmetic pack for Anno 117

Anno 117: Pax Romana is nearing the end of Year One. With its long-awaited new DLC, “Dawn of the Delta,” on the horizon, Anno 117 has released two DLC content packs and two cosmetic packs in Year One. Now, with the third cosmetic pack, “Echoes of Kassandra” is bridging Ubisoft Mainz’s city-builder with Ubisoft’s beloved Assassin’s Creed franchise. 

If you’re unfamiliar, unlike other DLC, Anno cosmetic packs give players cosmetic items and ornaments to decorate their islands, and are always themed. For the latest cosmetic pack, Ubisoft Mainz looked to Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey and its late Greek aesthetics.

Inspired by Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, “Echoes of Kassandra” seems like a natural collaboration for this Roman city-builder. Inspired by the architecture and landmarks encountered in the ancient Greece-themed installment of the Assassin’s Creed series, this pack offers several new cosmetic items, including ornaments, statues, character portraits, and more.

But one of the most exciting elements of “Echoes of Kassandra” for beauty builders is the addition of carved statues along the mountain slots and a giant Zeus placed in the water, bringing an underutilized space to life. At Gamescom 2026, we spoke with Anno 117’s Creative Director, Manu Rheiner, about the upcoming “Dawn of the Delta” expansion, which you can explore here. But we also asked about this new cosmetic pack and how it uses previously unused space. 

“When we looked into this potential cosmetic [pack], it was clear that we would love to have some bigger statues that you can put somewhere in your land or that should fit in somehow naturally,” Rheiner said. “Space is always an issue in [Anno], and so if you provide a huge statue, it’s also an issue for the player. That’s why we then decided: Okay, maybe we put them into the mountains.”

With the launch, Ubisoft also announced that Anno 117: Pax Romana will also be 35% off starting today until October 1, 2026, in honor of the Ubisoft Anniversary Sale.

Now, let’s break down what to expect from the new cosmetic pack. 

What is in the new “Echoes of Kassandra” Cosmetic Pack?

“Echoes of Kassandra” follows the same trajectory as other cosmetic packs, offering players everything you would expect to bring a little of late-antiquity Ancient Greece to your Anno 117 island. But it also offers something truly unique: a new building. 

New Portraits and Sigils

Customize your player profile with Character Portraits of Kassandra or a member of the Cult of Kosmos and choose from five new player sigils, all inspired by Odyssey’s world. Sigils can be seen in multiple areas throughout the game, including on the sails of all ships.

New Skins

Flagships will receive a new coat of paint – and a mighty golden eagle figurehead – with a skin modeled after the “Adrestia,” Kassandra’s flagship from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. All Tier 1 residences (across all provinces) will also receive a new, bright paint job: inspired by Mykonos, these white-and-blue skins bring a unique touch to your cities.

New Statues

The Echoes of Kassandra pack provides a variety of new statues, including a giant one of Zeus, which players of Kassandra’s adventure will be very familiar with. It is the first ornament, along with great Fire Pillars, that can be placed in the Harbor area.

Other statues are inspired by the Eagle-Bearer’s world and can be placed in both cities and mountains. The pack also offers two giant rock carvings of Sisyphus and Medusa, which can be placed on mountain slots to seamlessly fit into the world of Anno 117: Pax Romana.

New Building: Hall of Echoes

Drawing from elements of the Mykonos Temples in AC Odyssey, the Hall of Echoes is a multifaceted building, serving both as a phenomenal centerpiece and an integration of the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey soundtrack. Players can activate and listen to a selection of melodies from Kassandra’s world as they build the Hall of Echoes.

What is the release date?

The “Echoes of Kassandra” cosmetic pack is out now, and Anno 117: Pax Romana is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, Steam, or Epic Games Store (and playable with an Ubisoft+ subscription)
