Forgotten Empires is an American video game developer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded by Bert Beeckman in 2013, the company is known for developing expansions and remastering older titles in the Age of Empires series, published by Xbox Game Studios.
History[edit]
Forgotten Empires began as a modding collective, working on a modification for Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings in 2012.[2][3] Due to the success of the mod, Microsoft supported the group to turn their project into an official expansion. In June 2013, Microsoft announced Forgotten Empires' involvement in the further development of Age of Empires II: HD Edition.[4]
Forgotten Empires continued working with Microsoft, co-developing expansion packs for Age of Empires II HD, such as The African Kingdoms and Rise of the Rajas.[5] They also created an expansion for Age of Mythology, called Tale of the Dragon.[6]
In 2017, Forgotten Empires announced Age of Empires: Definitive Edition at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.[7] The game was released in February 2018 and received mixed reviews.
