For fans of Age of Empires, today’s announcement is going to feel like a massive celebration. The developers of Age of Empires have shared that there will be new content coming to multiple games, as well as their exciting announcement of reaching 60 million Age of Empire players worldwide.
Diving into the updates one by one, PlayStation 5 fans are in luck. Both Age of Mythology: Retold and Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition will be making their way to PlayStation. Age of Mythology: Retold will be launching on PlayStation 5 in correlation with the Immortal Pillars expansion being released on March 4. This expansion will introduce the Chinese pantheon, as well as new maps to explore, myth units, and added gameplay features. For those who want to get their hands on this expansion, pre-orders are now live. Those who own Age of Mythology: Retold – Premium Edition will automatically receive the expansion on day one.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition will launch on PlayStation 5 later in the Spring. When both titles are released, they will feature content parity across all platforms, as well as cross-play support. This title is currently available on Xbox Game Pass and Steam.
In addition to these two games being released for PlayStation, it’s been confirmed by the developers that new content will be released for Age of Empires IV this year. It will receive two pieces of DLC in 2025, with the first one launching this Spring. The first DLC will be titled “Knights of Cross and Rose” and will give players the opportunity to lead two well-known armies that are inspired by history. It will also introduce a new solo. More information regarding the second DLC will be shared at a later date, most likely once the first DLC has been released.
