I loved Age of Empires. Sometimes my co-workers and I would stay after work and play it in the server room of our company (the good-old days).

It is getting close to release and I did not see another thread on this. Here is the recently released gameplay trailer for it:

I’m looking forward to it being on sale.

😃

I bought the remastered AOE2 awhile back and was bored to tears with it in fewer than three hours. And I used to play that for hours and hours and hours back in the day.

So while I’m hopeful that a shiny new version could again provide that kind of enjoyable engagement, I’m somewhat dubious that the gameplay ever can again.

I get that. While I am interested and have great memories of it I am definitely on the “wait and see” side of things.

That said I love this style of game but we do not see them much anymore so, hopeful.

This is currently on sale through tomorrow, 58% off for $16.99. According to IsThereAnyDeal this is an historical low, not counting that one “free to play” weekend when it was temporarily free.
