#GamesCom17 Age of Empires revived!?!

What is going on at Microsoft?! They randomly revived Age of Empires! That's what!!

 

 

First up, at Gamescom 2017 they just announced the Age of Empires Definitive Edition!



This definitive edition release will be right on time for the franchise's 20th anniversary with many new features (4K, for the tech nerds that are into this) and even more fun a re-orchestrated soundtrack! I would definitively love a definitive edition of AoE2 as well..

AND

They also randomly announced Age of Empires IV!!!

That's right, the first proper new Age of Empires since 2005! This time developed by Relic Entertainment, the makers of the Dawn of War series, since Microsoft shut down Ensemble Studios shortly after acquiring it and forcing them to make an Halo spinoff.

And here's the teaser trailer:
