History unfolds once more as one of the most critically acclaimed strategy series makes a triumphant return in Age of Empires IV. Return to the Middle Ages, build your cities, raise a mighty army, and conquer the world for the glory of your kingdom.

Age of Empires IV will feature both classic and new features. Choose one of several factions, including the English, the Chinese, the Mongols, the Delhi Sultanate, the French, the Abbasid Dynasty, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Rus. The Abbasid Dynasty will feature unique units such as Camel Riders and Archers and a unique landmark called the House of Wisdom.

Bring your armies across four different campaigns and 35 missions, fighting real-time battles on land and on the sea. Lead from the front as historical figures: have Joan of Arc defy the odds in Medieval France or lead your Golden Horde through Asia and beyond as Genghis Khan. Finally, you can take part in another theater of war through competitive or cooperative online PvP or PvE with up to 7 players.

You choose what your kingdom’s destiny will be. History is yours to shape again in Age of Empires IV.
