Today’s a giant day for Age Of Empires. A revamped model of the second game launched this afternoon (and it’s nonetheless jolly good, our Nate mentioned in his Age Of Empires 2 Definitive Edition review) then tonight we bought a primary take a look at the all-new Age Of Empires 4. It’s set within the medieval period and ooh, I do fairly like how that outdated cartoony look is being translated to trendy 3D. Have a search for your self.
Once once more, it’ll draw collectively civilisations from internationally to throw down in real-time technique motion. And… we don’t know a lot about it. That trailer reveals the Mongols and the English however specifics of how four could or could not change the traditional system are a thriller. Age Of Empires four is being made by Relic Entertainment, the studio behind the Company Of Heroes and Warhammer 40Ok: Dawn Of War games, so it could nearly appear a disgrace for them to repeat another person’s system – however that’s the entire level of sequels. Dunno.
Microsoft have opened a brand new studio to supervise their AoE efforts, which they tonight introduced is called World’s Edge. We do know that an Age Of Empires III Definitive Edition can also be within the works, being made by Tantalus Media reasonably than the Forgotten Empires gang behind different current revamps.
After years of Microsoft making empty guarantees about them being nicely into PC gaming, it’s bizarre that this time they’ve appeared to essentially imply it. All their large new games are on PC in addition to Xbox, they’ve revamped classics and are persevering with them, their companies like Game Pass are protecting PC too… it’s bizarre. Part of me nonetheless half-expects them to announce Age Of Empires four is definitely an idle game for Facebook.
