Evaluation
Anno Online is no longer available for purchase on Steam — there are no purchase options listed, meaning the game has been removed from the storefront. This aligns with a clear development timeline: on October 18, 2016, Ubisoft/Blue Byte announced that Anno Online would no longer receive any additional updates. Then on November 29, 2017, the developer posted a follow-up news update about "the future of Anno Online," pointing to their official website for details — almost certainly announcing the game's shutdown or end-of-service. The last major content update was the "Wanderlust" chronicle in May 2016, and all developer activity ceased after the October 2016 end-of-updates announcement. The game is no longer purchasable and has been definitively shut down.
Evidence

About this game
Anno Online upholds the traditional in-depth economics that are the hallmarks of the award-winning Anno franchise.
The key element of the game is the player’s main island, where the foundations of your commercial empire will be set. By satisfying the needs of your population, constructing new buildings and managing the production, you will unlock new buildings and face new challenges as your population’s demands and consumption habits evolve. Soon, one island won’t be enough to satisfy all their needs and you’ll have to discover and claim additional islands and connect them via ship trading routes to your main island. For the first time in the Anno series, players have the opportunity to be part of a giant empire and get organized in powerful guilds to work towards joint goals and server-wide quests. A key element is the trade of goods with other players creating a social environment of continuous player-to-player interaction for the first time within this traditional franchise.
