Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition

If one real-time strategy from Microsoft wasn’t enough for PS5, Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is also PS5-bound. Launching this Spring, it will include a new expansion.

Further details like pricing and a release date have yet to be revealed, though the development calls the next expansion “one of the most exciting” yet. It will feature “fresh new content” and new civilizations to control in Ranked play. Cross-platform play will also be available.

Stay tuned for more details in the coming months. Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is available for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. Based on the 1999 real-time strategy classic from Ensemble Studios, it features 4K visuals, a Scenario Editor, zoom options, and a remastered soundtrack. There are also multiple new campaigns and civilizations.

The title is the latest from Microsoft to make the jump to non-Xbox consoles, alongside Forza Horizon 5 and Age of Mythology: Retold. Rumors indicate that others like Fable, Starfield, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and the unannounced Gears of War Trilogy Collection are also inbound.
