Background
Blue Byte is a German studio formed in 1988 by Thomas Hertzler and Lothar Schmitt and most famous for developing strategy games. It was taken over by Ubisoft Entertainment in 2001. Related Designs was merged into Blue Byte in 2013, and a third studio in Berlin was established in 2018. Since 2019, Ubisoft Blue Byte acts as the parent company of Ubisoft's three German studios, which became branded as Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Ubisoft Mainz and Ubisoft Berlin. By 2020, the "Blue Byte" name was phased out.

Variant: A still version exists.
