Since the arrival of Facebook, we tend to forget people’s birthdays, especially for old friends we haven’t seen in a while. This year, one of those old friends is celebrating its 20th birthday! And we’re celebrating properly!
We’re proud to announce Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. With all-new graphics, remastered sound and music, and a smooth UI experience rebuilt from the ground up. The perfect way to honour the legendary RTS that started it all!
For more information, check out our dedicated Age of Empires: Definitive Edition page!
Closed Beta
Can’t wait to dive deep into nostalgia? We got a closed beta program running over at www.ageofempires.com, come join us!
This looks incredible. I just hope it works. 🙂
Did you butcher this as much as age of mythology and plan on letting it go unsupported too? I dont know if I should be too happy looking at the disaster you guys gave birth to with AoMEE and TOTD, and you dont even live up to fixing the mess.
FE only makes content that microsoft asks. if microsoft deosn’t want them to fix things they don’t even try. blame microsoft as always
Microsoft didnt ask them to screw up so bad ;p
please be on Steam!
I read on the Windows Blog announcement that it will be available on Windows Store. But the requirements for the game include Windows 7, so I’m hoping it’ll also be on Steam…

you arent a scientist dog. youre a scientist pony.
Lol, I used to have a scientist dog avatar, but changed for Twilight doing science and now Starlight. I didn’t want to change the name.
After this, AoM! 😛
They did that, it is a mess.
Or do you mean actually fixing their mess?
It wasnt perfect but a great attempt at adding stuff to a 10 year old game. It wins imo
Great attempt? Blatantly overpoered civ, left the game barely playable, full of broken things like pathfinding and 0.0 support.
What they have done to AoM is nothing short of a disgrace.
Hey, for all the haters, don’t forget the great expansions they did for AOE 2. This remastered version of AOE1 will be huge. You gave me hype!
Or the disasters they released for AoM.
amazing 🙂
i didnt played AoE1 so much…but maybe it would be cool 1. to raise the population limit. and 2. make more differences between the peoples. well maybe a special unit for each one would be a too big change,,,but somehow,….
i will buy it for sure 🙂
In the worlf of modern games, what you ask aren’t too much
Awesome! 🙂 Shut up, and take my money. 😛
Will it be available on Steam, or only the Windows Store??
Windows store
A dream made true
Guys, if you still have an old copy of Aoe I and its expansion lying around but hate the fact that it doesnt have widescreen, go here and download the HD edition patch for free. It should bringe the gap/wait till the real new game comes out: http://upatch-hd.weebly.com
Works pretty glitchy tho in my experience.
Not glitchy at all in my experience.
