Today, Angela Games released a new trailer and plenty of details to show off the upcoming 1.0 launch of Myth of Empires. As you might recall from our previous coverage, following a solid early access debut in November 2021, the game was delisted from Steam in early December 2021 following a copyright claim issued by Snail Games subsidiary Studio Wildcard.
While Myth of Empires remained playable through its own launcher, the absence from Steam seemed to have stifled its development for good. However, two months ago, a major twist revealed that the game would soon return to Valve’s store. Not only had Angela Games settled with Snail Games, but the latter would now help with the distribution on PC and consoles, as explained by Studio Wildcard Co-Founder and CEO Doug Kennedy in an interview with Wccftech.
Now, Meng Liang, Producer at Angela Game and Project Director at Angela Game’s T’ien-Kung Studio, has stated:
The road to Myth of Empires’ Version 1.0 release has been a long and exciting one. Myth of Empires will be bigger, better, and more immersive than ever, and this trailer gives players their first look at all of the cool stuff we’ve been working on. We can’t wait for them to jump into the game and see it all for themselves this February.
- New ways to traverse the world, such as soaring gliders, climbing tools that players may use to scale towering walls, and platform saddles that can be used for combat or simple transportation.
- New defensive structures and mechanical collection tools that unleash players’ creativity and enable them to build ever more advanced and powerful empires.
- New Map: Dongzhou Island, an expansive new territory featuring islets, volcanoes, seas, and ships, as well as new boss content.
- New ways to play the game, including hosted and solo modes, as well as private servers that have the same functionality as official servers.
- Modding support and a robust suite of modding tools will give players more power over the world of Myth of Empires than ever before.
- Simulated sieges and challenges on the three major battlefields (County Battles, Fortress Battles, and Prefecture Battles) that will allow PvE players to experience the game’s large-scale combat against NPCs and provide PvP players a chance to hone their strategic abilities.
- New skills to make combat even more immersive and engaging.
- A new planting system allows players to grow crops wherever they like, freeing them from the tether of restricted plots.
- A new horse racing mode.
- New characters, weapons, structures, saddles, and armor cosmetics will be released via updates after 1.0.
Myth of Empires will launch version 1.0 on Steam in February 2024, while the debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X is scheduled for later next year.
