Microsoft’s cross-platform push is bringing Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Age of Mythology: Retold to PlayStation 5.
Age of Mythology: Retold will launch for PS5 on 4th March with Age of Empires II: DE coming to Sony’s console later this spring.
Launching at the very same time because the PS5 port is the Immortal Pillars enlargement for Age of Mythology: Retold. This delves into Chinese language tradition and mythology for its inspiration, that includes 12 new gods, similar to Fuxi, Shennong, Nüwa, Gonggong and Zhurong, a 9-level marketing campaign, new legendary items and seven new maps.
Immortal Pillars is bundled into Age of Mythology: Retold Premium Version, which additionally grants 5 days early entry to the sport on PS5 from twenty seventh February.
It’s a reasonably particular time to be a fan of Age of Empires sequence, with Microsoft having greenlit remasters/remakes of the entire basic RTS sequence, in addition to bringing out Age of Empires 4 as a model new entry. However they haven’t stopped there. As a substitute of treating every recreation’s remaster as a closing, definitive version, they’ve (whatever the identify) additionally introduced new expansions, new campaigns and factions to the desk. There’s additionally a number of expansions coming to Age of Empires 4 later this yr.
Quite a lot of this has been executed with Microsoft’s World’s Edge crew working intently with the fan-founded crew at Forgotten Empires. Immortal Pillars additionally has Virtuos Video games and Tantalus Media as builders.
It’s not at all times gone completely to plan, although. With so many Age of Empires video games now being seen as present tasks, all deserving of consideration and expansions, the groups have been stretched a bit too skinny, and the viewers unfold throughout too many video games. Due to this, it was lately announced that further Age of Empires 3 DLC has been cancelled, and that it had been introduced too quickly earlier than work had begun.
