Since the release of Age of Empires over 20 years ago , the franchise has grown to support a worldwide community of players with a shared love of real-time strategy. Over the last three years, we’ve delighted seasoned players and new fans alike with the Definitive Editions of Age of Empires, Age of Empires II , and Age of Empires III: projects which were made possible thanks to the feedback and passion of the community. We are so proud to have such an energetic, dedicated fanbase at the foundation of our community.
…and with the Definitive Editions in the hands of players, there’s a new era on the horizon…
The community has been the driving force behind this amazing franchise and fueled its evolution for more than two decades; now it’s time to celebrate with an event built for YOU!
So, mark your calendars:
April 10 @ 9 a.m. PT /12 p.m. ET / 16:00 UTC / 18:00 CEST
Then garrison yourself in your Town Center, gather your snacks, and get HYPED for all the Age of Empires news, content reveals, and surprises on the way. We’ll talk more about the event as we get closer, as well as where you can tune in when it’s time to make history!
wow they’re still making DLC for AoE 2 that’s crazy. MS are really supporting their older games even if they have new ones coming out which is cool to see.
Either way, the game looks great, but the animations need a lot more work, seem way too choppy atm. Not sure about it even if its a deliberate art direction decision.
Other than that, super happy to see some Indian history we get to play through the Delhi Sultanate as well. Fall 2021 surprised me.
This still can’t be the game Jason Ronald was referring to, because he specifically implied unannounced game, not announced game without a release date yet. So that means FH5 is still on the table. This gon be an exciting end of year for Xbox.
new feature in “landmark” where you can choose between 2 boni. Similar to AoM when you have to choose a god.
3 ways to win a game:
Destroy the main base
Wonder
The new one (a Relic special) conquer and hold “holy places” or whatever it’s called.
free placeable and accessible walls. This could be a problem. There is no good RTS where you can place your walls without restriction AND let soldiers use those walls.
Oh well.
