As announced in April, CipSoft has now completely integrated The Settlers Online into its own infrastructure. New events are planned for 2026, as well as further work on the technical basis.
After six months of intensive preparation, the migration of The Settlers Online from Ubisoft to CipSoft has been completed. All game worlds have been transferred to CipSoft's infrastructure, according to an announcement by the companies, which had announced the transfer in April.
"We would like to thank Ubisoft for their trust and support. We are now focusing fully on further developing the game to unlock the great potential we see in The Settlers Online. Over the coming year, we will not only be introducing new in-game events and addressing requests from the community, but also continuing to work on the game’s technical foundation so that The Settlers Online runs as smoothly and reliably as possible," said Stephan Payer, who led the project at CipSoft.
And Benedikt Grindel, Managing Director of Ubisoft Blue Byte, adds: "The past few months have shown that The Settlers Online is in very good hands. We have worked together very successfully throughout the migration and have been able to rely on CipSoft’s decades of experience with online games. We are very happy to have found an excellent partner for the game and its fantastic community."
For CipSoft, the migration also brings organizational changes. The office opened for the takeover in Düsseldorf was closed on November 30 after all employees moved to the headquarters in Regensburg.
At the same time, The Settlers Online now provides further proof of concept for CipSoft's own payment system, MultiPayer. CipSoft has developed and continuously improved this system for its own titles over the past 20 years. At the end of March, CipSoft announced that it would also make the payment system available to other developers.
