Official Catan game coming soon to Android

The immensely popular Settlers of Catan is about to come to Android, with mobile developer Exozet Games putting together the first official Android version of Klaus Teuber's modern-day classic strategy board game.

Publisher USM say it'll arrive on Android in “June”. Which could mean later this afternoon or in another three weeks, WE JUST DON'T KNOW. But here's what it'll look like on Android. More images and the press release below:

Turns out you don't really need four screenshots of Catan to get the message across. Here's the announcement:

Catan for Android

The board game ‘Settlers of Catan' has a huge worldwide fan base and has been translated into 30 languages within its more

than 15 years of success. By now the digital versions of the game have also become bestsellers: The App ‘Catan' for

iPhone® as well as the iPad® version ‘Catan HD' are winning several hundreds of new users daily.

In June 2011 the first AndroidTM version of Klaus Teuber’s famous board game will be released.

Several Catanians will prove themselves worthy opponents: pirate Jean, with her no prisoners attitude; Sean the ruthless knight or Vincent the merchant, who’ll never be short-changed. True to the original game, up to four players can compete for the most settlements, the longest roads and the largest army via hot seat multiplayer mode on their android phones – anytime, anywhere.

A completely new art design, interchangeable tilesets and an optimized UI makes Catan shine in an even brighter light. The Seafarers expansion* offers a campaign as well as more than ten diverse scenarios, each of them with very different goals. The player can become harbormaster or discover new islands on the even bigger and more varied Catan world. Extra game elements, such as ships, gold fields, treasures, and pirates offer numerous new opportunities.

Catan for Android has been developed by Exozet Games in collaboration with Catan designer Klaus Teuber and published by USM – United Soft Media. The App will be available on the Android Market and other Android stores in June 2011. The game will be available in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese.
