Age of Mythology Retold finally gets Xbox Game Pass release window The Age of Empires team has now dropped a wave of "Age of" news, including an Xbox Game Pass release window for Age of Mythology: Retold, and more.Heidi Nicholas Published 26 Feb 2024 FollowtopicsPC Game PassXbox Game PassXbox Series X|SHeidi Nicholas It's good news for "Age of" fans, because the Age of Empires team has dropped a whole lot of news for 2024, including an Xbox Game Pass release window for Age of Mythology Retold, which joins the service later this year. It's a welcome update for our massive list of all the upcoming Game Pass games , as Age of Mythology Retold has been in the "unknown" section since 2022. It was a big livestream, which the Age of Empires team helpfully rounded up, but the biggest news is DLC for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, an update and new Season for Age of Empires IV, and of course the release window for Age of Mythology Retold. Check out its Sneak Peek video below.There wasn't too much to gather from the Age of Mythology Retold Sneak Peek beyond the release window (which was a relief, as the lack of gameplay or a new trailer made us worried it'd be some way off) aside from a few nuggets of info. The Age of Mythology Retold team are "upgrading the engine and bringing all those quality of life improvements that you've come to expect from World's Edge" as well as updating the gameplay and the art with new animations, textures, and more. We saw a few of the upgraded units in that video above, which confirmed that upgraded myth units would get fancy new visuals (just look at that Pegasus). Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, meanwhile, will get the single-player DLC Victors and Vanquished on March 14. It features 19 scenarios and lets you play as Ragnar Lothbrok, Charlemagne, and more. Age of Empires IV will get its next big update in early spring, along with the start of Season 7, while late 2024 will bring another DLC for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition. Since most DLC and expansions for the "Age of" games bring more achievements, that could mean new Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition achievements and new Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition (Windows) achievements.All-in-all, great news for "Age of" games — especially if you've also been waiting impatiently for a return to Age of Mythology. I've been unsuccessfully putting "Age of Mythology news" down as one of my predictions ahead of each big Xbox event since it was announced, and now it's almost here! All we need now is the release date...Xbox Game PassXbox Series X|SPC Game PassDLCXbox OneWindows Written by Heidi NicholasHeidi tends to lean towards indie games, RPGs, and open-world games on Xbox, and when not playing Disney Dreamlight Valley, happily installs every new wholesome game that appears on Xbox Game Pass, before diving back into favorites like The Witcher 3.
