You got Tundra, you got Orbit, now it&#8217;s time to quit being a freeloader and pay up.  Frontiers will cost you $12 on top of the $20 you paid for the season&#8217;s pass, itself on top of the $40 you paid for the game.  Seasons aren&#8217;t forever.  Given Anno 2205&#8217;s 11\/3\/15 release, seasons are only 11 months and one day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wish Ubisoft would quit adding cool updates to Anno 2205.
