Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is an upcoming real-time strategy video game developed by Forgotten Empires and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is a definitive remaster of the original game Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the original. It features significantly improved visuals, supports 4K resolution, a new single player campaign called The Last Khans and four new civilisations[2]. It also includes all previous expansions from the original and HD edition. It is slated for 14 November 2019[3].
Gameplay[edit]
The core gameplay elements are shared heavily with the original but The Definitive Edition builds upon it. The remaster includes new 4K graphics, new improved visuals for troops and buildings, the ability to zoom in and further out and a new spectator mode. It also features a new campaign called the The Last Khans and four new civilisations: Bulgarians, Cumans, Lithuanians and Tatars.[2][4] It also includes all previous expansions from the original (The Conquerors) and HD edition (The Forgotten, The African Kingdoms, Rise of the Rajas).[2][5]
Players can choose between the original AI, which had to cheat to be competitive, and the new one which is advanced enough to not require any cheating. When the two AIs were pitted against each other in a test, the new one easily defeated the old one.[6]
