Microsoft made a number of major announcements at the recent Age of Empires 25th anniversary celebration livestream, and while Age of Mythology: Retold and the announcement that Age of Empires 4 and Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition are coming to Xbox consoles next year have grabbed most of the headlines, there was one more notable unveiling.
Microsoft has announced Age of Empires Mobile with a brief CG teaser trailer that shows an army riding out of a fortress, seemingly headed for battle. Details on the game are scant (hell, they’re practically non-existence), so pertinent questions like how the game will control on mobile devices, what it will have on offer by way of content, and what its monetization will look like currently remain unanswered.
When will it launch? We don’t know that yet either, but Microsoft says it’s coming “soon”. How soon “soon” will be remains to be seen, but hopefully that means more concrete details on the title (and perhaps a proper look at its gameplay) will be arriving sooner rather than later. In the meantime, check out the game’s announce teaser below.
