ANNO 1800 LAN multiplayer is a feature that enables players to connect to a local network and play the game with friends in a multiplayer environment. This mode allows for seamless gameplay, with players able to interact with each other's games in real-time. Unlike online multiplayer, LAN multiplayer does not require an internet connection, making it an ideal option for those who want to play with friends in the same physical location.

When Ubisoft eventually sunsets the servers for Anno 1800 —a standard part of a game's lifecycle—the multiplayer component will cease to function entirely. Without a LAN mode or a dedicated server executable released to the public, the multiplayer aspect of the game will be lost to time.
