After more than 13 years in hibernation, the Age of Empires series is coming back for its fourth outing. In August 2017, publisher Microsoft Studios announced that Age of Empires 4 was alive and kicking, and that it was being developed by Relic Entertainment, the team behind Homeworld and Company of Heroes (which is a hell of a lot of pedigree).It's not been until the tail end of 2019 that we've finally learned more about the game (and even then we'd still love to know more) but we feel like we can finally get excited about the next instalment in the Age of Empires series. Read on to find out everything we know so far!Update: Age of Empires 4 will have fewer civilisations than Age of Empires 2.

The two campaigns are broken down into various missions, each of which is introduced by live-action cutscenes. Command and conquer rivals strategy. Players go about gathering the game's primary resource, Tiberium, to construct buildings, research new technology, and create military units.

Space Empires V is the latest edition in the Space Empires series. This new chapter completely updates the UI and takes the player into a real-time rendered 3D universe. Watch space battles played out in glorious details and realistic effects. Expand, explore, exploit, and exterminate in a huge living breathing galaxy. Civilization VI offers new ways to interact with your world, expand your empire across the map, advance your culture, and compete against history’s greatest leaders to build a civilization that will stand the test of time. Coming to PC on October 21, 2016.

Read on to find out more! Cut to the chase. What is it? The latest installment to the historical real-time strategy series Age of Empires.

When can I play it? There's no release window just yet but it'll be late 2019 at the earliest. What can I play it on? Windows 10 PC is the only confirmed platform thus farWhat is Age of Empires 4?Age of Empires 4 is the latest instalment to the historical real-time strategy series Age of Empires, which began life way back in 1997.Follow-ups to the original were released in 1999 and 2005, and there’s been a couple of spin-offs during that period, including two Nintendo DS titles and the popular Age of Mythology, which took inspiration from myths and legends rather than history. Aside from those DS games, the series is only on PC.Age of Empires 4 is the first game in the series developed by Relic Entertainment – all the other Age of Empires games have been made by Ensemble Studios, which folded in 2009. Relic says it wants to “fuse historical context with deep strategic gameplay, and to bring this franchise back to the forefront of gaming and into the hands of its beloved community”.Age of Empires 4: release dateUnfortunately, no release date has been announced for Age of Empires 4 – not even a rough one.

It could be a way off though, because all we’ve seen of the game is a trailer filled with concept art in 2017, which suggests that at that point development was in its early stages. Even in 2019 the game still isn't far enough into development to give a rough launch window—we're looking at 2020 before some kind of announcement. What platforms will Age of Empires 4 release on?So far, all we know is that it’s coming to Windows 10 PC – so bad luck if you’re running an older version (although this could be a good excuse to upgrade). However, with Microsoft Studios as the publisher the door is open for a release on Xbox One.Nothing is certain in that department but in an interview with Microsoft's Shannon Loftis and Adam Isgreen said that while the team's 'number one priority is to make it work great with keyboard and mouse' they're still going to 'explore our options. Once we have a wonderful PC game, then we'll start looking at other ways that we can show up.'

That's not a solid commitment to an Xbox release by any means but it makes it at least slightly more possible that we could see the game come to Microsoft's console further down the line. Don't expect, however, to see it on PlayStation or Nintendo Switch.

Age of Empires 4: news and rumorsFewer Civilisations than Age of Empires 2We don't know exactly which civilisations will appear in Age of Empires 4, nor do we know how many there will be.

What we do now know, however, is that there will be fewer than in Age of Empires 2. The news comes from creative director Adam Isgreen, who revealed during an interview with that players 'can expect to see fewer than the 13 that shipped with Age of Empires II, as we’re aiming for more uniqueness with each civilisation rather than quantity.”Despite this lower number, it seems that the game's developers are aiming for depth and uniqueness with each one which should make things more interesting.No to microtransactions, yes to DLCIn an interview with, Age of Empires 4's Creative Director, Adam Isgreen, has said that the game won't feature microtransactions.
