It would seem a sixth game in the long running Settles series is on the cards. Gamespot has news that it's due next year.

"the best The Settlers game yet," "a perfect mix of favorite elements alongside new developments," and "the best graphics seen in a strategy game to date."

Very interesting, let's hope it's NOTHING like The Settlers V: Heritage of Kings, that game was pretty poor, however, the remake of The Settlers II is currently being reviewed by myself and it's brilliant. More like the older games in the series please Blue Byte.
