There is a new expansion coming to Age of Empires II

Matthew Wilson April 9, 2015 Software & Gaming

It looks like Microsoft is renewing its interest in the Age of Empires series as it has announced that it will be working on a new expansion for Age of Empires II: HD Edition. Microsoft has brought in some outside help too.

The team behind the fan-made Age of Empires II mod: ‘Forgotten Empires’, is helping Microsoft out with its new expansion pack, which will release some time this year.

The announcement was made on Steam, where Microsoft posted a teaser image of the camel archer, one of the new units being worked on for the game. The expansion will also include new civilisations, campaigns and even game modes.

Microsoft is also making an effort to improve the Steam workshop for the famed RTS title, with a new mod manager, there will also be some improvements to multiplayer.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Age of Empires is still a pretty popular series. Hopefully if this expansion does well enough, Microsoft will make a proper return to the series with an Age of Empires IV. Do any of you guys own Age of Empires II on Steam? Are you looking forward to the new expansion at all?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
