Microsoft has formally announced Age of Mythology: Extended Edition. The real-time strategy classic from 2002, is being released on Steam this May and will come with a host of improvements..
Read the full articleEXCELLENT! I love Age of Mythology and am very happy to hear that it's getting a port. It's still a beautiful game with a lot of neat mechanics, so this is great news!
So Microsoft re-releases AoM with Steamworks, meanwhile they've made no commitment to free their more recent games from GFWL.
Still, it's something I guess. I'd like to see Freelancer on Steam. Make that happen, Microsoft.
While I am definitely going to be buying this I am a little bit trepidatious given how awful the "HD" re-release of AoE was.
Of course this is one of my favorite classic RTS games, so it is one of the few games I buy without hesitation, even as a re-release.
There’s a Microsoft game sale on Steam this weekend. This game is down to 7.49. I never played the original, it’s kind of tempting to check it out.
Age of Mythology: Retold is 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 indicate Age of Mythology: Retold will be released later this year on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and be available Day One on Game Pass.
