Everyone’s been eagerly awaiting news on Age of Empires 4 for a while now, and we’ve finally been treated to some juicy details and extended gameplay thanks to the Age of Empires fan preview event run by World’s Edge today.
The reveal broadcast covered a lot of different topics, and didn’t just focus on Age of Empires 4 itself, but there was still plenty of information to glean from it. Sadly, a concrete release date wasn’t on the cards - all we know for sure is that Age of Empires 4 is targeting a Fall 2021 release, but there were other bits and pieces to take away.
In terms of civilisations, there will be eight at launch from Europe, Asia, and beyond, with a strong suggestion that more will be included post-launch, probably as DLC. We already know about the Mongols and the English. In addition, a Chinese civ has been confirmed, along with a civ called the Delhi Sultanate. The design of each civilisation will be fairly asymmetrical and diverse. For example, the English behave like a traditional AOE civilisation, where as the Mongols will have bespoke mechanics that make them very different to what’s been done in past games.
