As outlined in Ubisoft's new introductory video, Anno 1800's fourth season will introduce three new paid DLCs before 2022 is through, with its first offering being titled Seeds of Change. Arriving on 12th April, this will enable players to «revolutionise» the agricultural sector of the New World, introducing a powerful new building — the Hacienda — that will become the agricultural hub of players' empires.
