The Settlers is a franchise of real-time strategy city-builders with a long and robust history. The original game in The Settlers franchise was released in 1993 and received six core sequels, as well as multiple remasters and a browser-based online game. The most recent title, to fans' dismay, arrived over 10 years ago. Attempted reboots of The Settlers have struggled, however, and the most recent iteration is no different. In a recent announcement, the current The Settlers project is confirmed to be indefinitely delayed.
