Anno 117: Pax Romana’s Dawn of the Delta expansion is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Ubisoft Mainz calls it Year 1’s third and largest expansion, and it moves the campaign into the Aegyptus province with new production chains, goods, deities and characters. On Steam the DLC is $24.99 (app 3858790). Buy the expansion where you already own the base game; on PC that means Steam, the Ubisoft Store or Epic.
Aegyptus Is the Third Year 1 Expansion
Dawn of the Delta is the Egypt chapter of the Year 1 plan. The Games Press launch note keeps the feature list short on purpose: new production chains, new goods, new deities and new characters tied to the Nile-delta province. If you are mid-campaign in Britannia or Italica, this is the map that extends the empire south instead of another cosmetics pack. Steam also lists earlier Year 1 pieces (The Hippodrome, Prophecies of Ash, cosmetic packs) and a Year 1 Pass that bundles those with Dawn of the Delta.
$24.99 on Steam, Base Game on Sale Through the Weekend
Steam showed Dawn of the Delta at a flat $24.99 on November 6 with no launch discount on the DLC itself. The base game (app 3274580) was $35.99 after a 40% cut from $59.99, matching Ubisoft’s “up to 40% off” line. Ubisoft is also running a free weekend for the base game on PlayStation, Xbox and Ubisoft Connect through November 9, which is a clean try-before-you-buy window if you have not started a Roman city yet. The free weekend does not include the expansion.
Consoles and PC Ship on the Same Day
PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC all get Dawn of the Delta in this wave. That matters for the Xbox side of the week, where owned-copy strategy games have been thin. Skip the subscription framing; if you want the Egypt map, buy the expansion on the storefront that already has your Anno 117 save. After November 9, the free-weekend wording on any follow-up should flip to past tense.
