The first in-game footage has been revealed forAge of Empires Mobile, over a year after its initial announcement.
Age of Empires Mobileis being developed by Tencent Games subsidiary TiMi Studio Group (which also developed mobile gamesPokémon UniteandCall of Duty: Mobile) alongside Xbox Game Studios developer World’s Edge. According to a newDev Diary video, the team is mostly comprised of hugeAge of Empiresfans, with the vision of making strategy games more accessible to gamers worldwide. You can take a look at thelatest trailerbelow.
While the mobile war strategy game will preserve many classicAge of Empireselements that fans know and love, it will also introduce new controls that have been optimized for mobile play to ensure players get the best possible experience.
As well as single-player, which will task players with building and expanding their empire single-handedly, along with the option to dive into dungeons and explore the map and its many battles, players will be able to play alongside others in “large-scale epic siege battles.” These fights will pit hundreds of players against each other at the same time for a “dynamic and immersive combat experience.”
Pre-registration is already open on theAge of Empires Mobilewebsite, with rewards being offered to players depending on how many people sign up. At the time of writing, at least 500,000 people have pre-registered, meaning that some resources and items to speed up building, training, and research will be distributed. If three million players sign up, the hero Cleopatra VII will be unlocked.
Age of Empires Mobileis set to release on theAppleApp Store for iPhone and iPad, as well as theGoogle Play Storefor Android users.
