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!
Is this an expansion for AOE I ?
No a remake.
A remake.
did you make the gate for the walls in this one? it is the most important thing that missing from the original game
Gates are not coming
Because there weren’t gates in AOE1 or there weren’t gates at that time?
The first one 🙂 No gates in the original game so we’re not completely changing the gameplay here.
is there any chance to see them in a future expansion?
@disqus_fZXjTBsYob:disqus If you want a game that plays like AOE2, then play AOE2 🙂 AOE1 is a different game that plays differently, we should not mix these up.
it is historical to be the gates in AOE also
if you want historical then you should not be playing AoE 1,2,3 😛
0 A.D have better accuracy.
This announcement makes much more sense now that AoE2 DE has been announced. This way those who want the pure original experience but with updated UI/visuals can go back to that, and those who want AoE2 gameplay with updated AI/visuals can opt for that. CAN’T WAIT!
that is a pity
we want to add night time in age 🙂
it will be awesome
Release this on Steam and not only on the MS Store, please!
There a guy named as Enkeli saying you used Feudal wars to make this remaster, I’m sure he is a liar.
Dear developers, any chance to see these changes in AOE2? In particular I would like to see:
– Zooming
– 4K textures
– Higher framerate animations
Otherwise AOE1 will now look better than AOE2, which is weird 🙂
Thanks!!
Hey Cysion !
1) will you guys add recorded games ? it would be awsome!
2) what about flare ? (would help a lot on MP games)
3) if possible, add an option to play without quee for thoses who want (aoe vanila had no quee)
changes that will not change the core of the game and will add more value!
Any chance to modify skins so Asian civs doesn’t seem to have hoplites/phalanx/centurions but an historical analog?
No, they don’t want do that. Too much work. It’ll be expensive for MS.
whats with all this soft shadows? they looked so blurry. Overall the game needs some post-processing visual corrections imo
Will there be a new expansion or update for AoM aswell?
