About Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition

Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition celebrates a first year of delighting millions of players by expanding the award-winning, best-selling strategy franchise even further. It places you at the center of epic historical battles that shaped the world, blending familiar mechanics with innovative new ways to grow your empire across vast landscapes rendered in stunning 4K visual fidelity.

This celebratory version packs in a generous amount of free new content. Two new civilizations lead the way: the mighty Malians of West Africa, one of history's richest trading nations, who reward a strong economy built on mining and gold investment, and the long-lasting Ottomans, whose well-trained military boasts the largest gunpowder siege weapons available in the Great Bombards, cannons capable of felling any opponent. Eight new maps join them, along with additional in-game updates, new languages, masteries, challenges, taunts, and cheats.

Creativity gets a boost too, thanks to a beta release of the Mod Editor and its powerful creator tools, letting you sculpt your own skirmishes and chart your own course. As a real-time strategy PC game brought to the next level, Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition delivers more history than ever at an appealing value, catering to newcomers and seasoned commanders alike.
