As part of the Gamescom kickoff stream, Microsofthas announcedthe 2021 RTSAge of Empires IVis launching on Xbox consoles right now!
Developed by Relic Entertainment and released for PC in 2021,Age of Empires IVcontinues the long-running franchise. Considering it was published by Xbox Game Studios, it’s surprising it took this long, but real-time strategy has long been a poor fit for consoles. Microsoft touts that this version will be reworked a bit to accommodate the controller interface.
I haven’t playedAge of Empiressince the original 1997 release, but this one was well-received on itsPC launch. So, that’s cool.
Age of Empires IVis currently available on PC, and launches on Xbox platforms right now.
