…and that took us a bit longer than we’d originally planned. Everything needed to be as good as you remembered it (or better!) to deliver a compelling RTS experience 20 years after its original release.
When we set out to create the Definitive Edition of the original Age of Empires, our goal was to deliver the best possible version of this classic, from a top notch audio-visual presentation to multiplayer to core game systems.
The new release date has been announced as February 20 worldwide for Windows 10 PCs. Instead of releasing the game on October 19, the team decided to keep inviting players to the beta which will allow for more testing across the single player and multiplayer modes. Not only did we receive news of an Age of Empires 4 but we also learned Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3 are all receiving remasters.Īge of Empires: Definitive Edition, a remaster of the first game in the series, was supposed to release last year but ended up being delayed, much to the displeasure of fans. As it turns out, the game was actually announced as delayed in a post on Age of Empires official website. A lot of Age of Empires related news was released last year which was a surprise to many fans of the long-time RTS franchise.
