Age of Empires 4 – and all its trebuchetslaunched October 28, 2021 and on PC Game Pass same day.

“We know that bringing the complexity of RTS to the Xbox console is a huge undertaking, and we must approach it carefully and thoughtfully,” World’s Edge co-developer said in a statement Tuesday. . “The team has worked hard to deliver an experience that not only feels great when using a controller, but also teaches players how to play on Xbox.”

Age of Empire’s controller input can be a bit complicated as the game involves a lot of clicking on different units and moving around the map. Xbox versions will have tutorials showing new users how to play the game, as well as controller-specific inputs. The developers have also added an AI game to make resource management “efficient and intuitive”.

Age of Empires 2 and Age of Empires 4 will support cross-platform play, allowing console users to play alongside Windows PC veterans. So we’ll see later, how the Xbox versions compare to mouse and keyboard rivals.
