Mixer's interview with the Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition team is no exception. Mixer's Justin Robey and Leah were joined by Age of Empires Director Adam Isgreen and Forgotten Empires’ Bert Beeckman as they discussed bringing the game to modern audiences.The team was determined not to alter the gameplay too much, but they have made some things simpler. For example, players no longer have to click through all the buildings to see what's going on in your empire. The graphics have been updated, the soundtrack now features a full orchestra, and multiplayer options have been modernised. There will also be new content in the form of an expansion pack with four new civilisations and three campaigns. The team is trying to make the game earn its Definitive Edition title, and you can hear all about the team's plans below, as well as see an eight-minute gameplay demo for one of the new campaigns.If you want to see what's changed in the game, you can sign up here to become an Age Insider and try out the beta.
