- A new DLC has been announced for Age of Empires 4, coming in 2025.
- This will be the first expansion for the strategy title in about two years.
Since its inception in 1997, the Age of Empires series has been a cornerstone of gaming pop culture, reaching 50 million players around the world and garnering critical acclaim.
The latest mainline instalment in the series, Age of Empires 4, came out exactly three years ago, and on its anniversary, the developer has announced a brand new DLC coming in 2025.
Why It Matters: The latest title in the franchise has barely received new content in the last two years, making this new DLC necessary for the game.
The official Age of Empires account posted a live-action video on X recapping the game’s journey so far and announcing this new expansion for next year.
So far, the strategy title has only received two expansions: one free DLC on its first anniversary and a second paid expansion in 2023. This second DLC, The Sultans Ascend, added new civilizations, features, and missions to the game, but since then, no major expansion has come to Age of Empires 4.
For comparison, Age of Empires 2 has had six campaign DLCs since the release of the fourth title. Hence, the strategy title is in dire need of this new DLC, and hopefully, it will rise to expectations.
