Having only eight may bother fans of the original title, but the units for each of these eight civilizations is more distinct. If you are new to Age of Empires, this real-time strategy title is based on a variety of ancient civilizations that answers the question “who was the greatest?” Age of Empires IV offers eight different civilizations at launch as Relic has updates planned to bring more content to the game beginning near the Holidays. With Age of Empires IV, Relic has created a modern version of that second game with a deeper focus on the historical aspect of the civilizations involved. Relic is focused on building a better version of Age of Empires II, as the title received a HD remake in recent years that has been highly touted by the community. Microsoft tasked the team at Relic Entertainment, the development team behind the Company of Heroes franchise, to rekindle what made the first two Age of Empires games so great. While the third release left a lot to be desired, it has been many years since that release. PC gamers rejoiced when Xbox Game Studios announced that Age of Empires would be returning with Age of Empires IV.
