With all of Medieval History at the developer's disposal, there are a lot of possible civilizations to choose from. The developers added there will be "around three hours worth of documentary and historical footage" in the game. I saw bits of an in-game video featuring a historical English town and castle augmented with medieval soldiers walking around. Moreover, in between missions, you'll see short videos of present-day locations with medieval structures and figures added into them. He also said that "during the campaign, a narrator will provide context about the history you're about to play". The campaign will follow not just William, but his offspring all the way down to when the Magna Carta was signed in 1215.Īdam Isgreen, Franchise Creative Director, said this allows the creators to use the game to tell a sort of "humanized history". One of those will be about the Norman conquest of England, which started with William the Conqueror's invasion and the Battle of Hastings in 1066. I learned there will be eight civilizations in the game and four campaigns upon release, each of which will focus on the rise of a specific civilization. But it won't just be a remake, as "it will be familiar but also unexpected."

Game Director Quinn Duffy later added: "Age of Empires IV is the spiritual successor to Age of Empires II". Philippe Boule, Narrative Lead at Relic Entertainment, explained that they chose the Middle Ages, because it offers "a wealth of civilizations" to pick from that people today aren't very familiar with. The reveal trailer already showed that Age of Empires IV (AoE IV) will take players back to the Middle Ages. Ahead of the Age of Empires fan preview event today, Microsoft invited me to attend a preview session to learn more about the upcoming Age of Empires game currently being developed by Relic entertainment. The older games have been reworked into Definitive Editions recently, but this will be the first new Age of Empires game since Age of Empires III was released back in 2005.
