Festive Christmas surprise for Amiga Settlers fans

Look Behind You surprises Amiga enthusiasts with a free exclusive Christmas map for The Settlers II Gold Edition, featuring a decorated tree and abundant gold. Released on October 18, 2025, after nearly 30 years, this official Ubisoft-licensed port brings the 1996 PC classic to Amiga hardware with optimizations for AGA chipsets and modern setups. The festive map, downloadable now, embodies holiday cheer amid the game’s bustling economic chains and strategy. Blue Byte Software developed The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici as a direct sequel to the 1993 hit, starting work immediately after the original sold over 215,000 units by mid-1996. A team of twelve, led by project manager Thomas Häuser, refined gameplay from quality assurance notes on the first game, enhancing graphics with more settler animations and four distinct races—Romans, Asians, Nubians, Vikings—while adding strategic battles via scouts and catapults. The DOS version launched in Germany in April 1996, reaching the UK and North America by August, with the Mission CD expansion following in December featuring nine new campaigns, maps, and an editor.
