In mid-2005, Ascaron announced Anstoss 2006. However, as the release was delayed, the game was renamed Anstoss 2007. On August 11, 2006, Anstoss 2007 was released, which corresponds to Anstoss 2006 except for the changed name, in an anniversary edition that contains some of the series' predecessors (Anstoss 2 Gold, Anstoss 3, Anstoss Action and Anstoss 4 Edition 03/04). The announcement by the developers to expand the text mode, revise the transfer market and reintegrate the popular network mode, which is designed for up to 64 players, was well received.
