A bit more mystical
If you’ve never played the originalAge of Mythologybut are a fan of RTS likeAge of Empires, you are in for quite a treat.Mythologytakes the foundation ofAge of Empiresbut adds a mystical twist to it, allowing players to call upon various gods to help them in combat. Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and Atlantean pantheons are all options inAge of Mythology.
As great asAge of Empiresis, there has always been something special to me aboutAge of Mythology. Being able to summon Nidhogg or call in a massive thunderstorm not only felt fun but felt like it added a unique element to the RTS genre.
Age of Mythology: Retoldis primarily a graphical upgrade to the original, mixing its classic gameplay elements with modernized visuals. It will include the 50-mission campaign as well as an all-new Arena of the Gods feature that allows you to complete all new trials either solo or co-op with friends as you take on challenges as the gods themselves battle it out.
While no specific release date was given, Microsoft Game Studios did indicateAge of Mythology: Retoldwill be released later this year on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and be available Day One on Game Pass.
