Latest from the desk

    Pre-Order Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - The Viking Sagas

    World's Edge dated The Viking Sagas to September 22, with the Danes, Saxons and Varangians as playable civilisations plus a fifteen mission Harald Hardrada campaign. Pre-orders are open at a 15 percent discount.

    For your guild
    Three civilisations entering the pool changes what turns up in lobbies and on the ladder from September 22, and only owners can play them. A group that drafts civilisations together should decide whether it is buying as a block before the date, not after.

    Celebrating Age in 2026 – Where We're At, and Where We're Going

    World's Edge looks back at Yue Fei's Legacy for Age IV, The Last Chieftains for Age II: DE, and Age II reaching macOS. Ahead: the Raiders of the North expansion, bringing both the Vikings and the Scots to Age IV.

    For your guild
    Two new civilizations are coming to Age IV, which is where the ladder meta will move. If your group is choosing an Age title to organise nights around, that is the argument for IV.
