Age Of Empires II Definitive Edition will reach the Xbox consoles on January 31, 2023 and later this year the company promises to also bring Age Of Empires IV, the fourth title in the series released in 2021. Both titles will be available for free download to Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
Age Of Mythology renews
If that wasn’t enough, the company announced the innovation – Age Of Mythology Retold, the beloved title that added to the series – which until now has been historically faithful – a mythological ‘twist’ and it is possible to fight the various enemies and factions with gods from the ancient traditions. This is alongside a mobile title called Age Of Empires Mobile.
