Age of Empires IV

Command civilizations through the ages in Age of Empires IV, the legendary real-time strategy game that resurrects an iconic franchise with stunning 4K graphics and deep tactical gameplay. After nearly two decades since the last mainline release, this game brings back epic medieval battles across eight historically diverse civilizations, challenging players to master resource management, army composition, and battlefield tactics in campaigns that let you reshape history itself.

Choose your faction from the English, Chinese, Mongols, Delhi Sultanate, French, Abbasid Caliphate, Holy Roman Empire, or Rus, then lead them through four distinct historical campaigns spanning 35 missions. Become legendary figures like Joan of Arc and Genghis Khan as you make strategic decisions that alter historical outcomes. Whether you're new to the real-time strategy genre or a veteran player, the carefully balanced tutorial and Campaign Story Mode provide the right level of challenge—refined through evolved gameplay mechanics and sophisticated combat techniques that reward careful planning and quick thinking.

Test your strategic prowess in competitive multiplayer, where you can face off against or cooperate with up to seven opponents in PvP and PvE matches. The game's deep customization options and mod support mean endless replayability—create custom scenarios, design unique maps, and share your creations with the community. Age of Empires IV also extends beyond PC, with optimized versions for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S that deliver the complete experience with all content, expansions, and updates.

The journey continues with The Sultans Ascend expansion, which introduces a sweeping new campaign exploring Muslim resistance during the Crusades, plus the return of two legendary civilizations: the Byzantine Empire and the Japanese. Regular seasonal updates keep the experience fresh—Season Six arrives with three new multiplayer maps (Canal, Gorge, and Rocky River) and limited-time challenges that unlock exclusive profile portraits and coats of arms.

Whether commanding armies in single-player campaigns, outsmarting rivals in ranked matches, or building custom scenarios with friends, Age of Empires IV delivers the strategic depth and historical immersion that made the series legendary. Master the four eras from Dark Age to Imperial Age and prove your dominion across the medieval world.
