Still have that muscle memory?
Following a delay,Age of Empires: Definitive Editionis back on track and now aiming for a June 04, 2025 launch on Windows 10 PCs.
“[I]t was important for the team to treat theAge of Empiresfranchise with the respect it deserves, so we took the time we needed to get features like attack-move and the improved minimap exactly right, and even added things like an in-game tech tree (how did we survive 1997 without that?) that we hope fans will love,” Microsoft creative director Adam Isgreen said of the later-than-expected release.
Besides gameplay updates,Definitive Editionwill have rebuilt assets for 4K, LAN play and online play with Xbox Live, a new orchestral score of the original soundtrack, campaign narration for every mission, and an enhanced campaign/scenario editor with the option to share viaAgeOfEmpires.com.
The idea is to “[retain] the original feel and unique gameplay that madeAge of Empiresso special for so many.” If you’d like to play before launch,the multiplayer betais adding participants on January 29.
