On April 10th, Microsoft is hosting an Age of Empires Fan Preview livestream, showcasing new footage from Age of Empires 4 as well as updates to the other games in the Age of Empires series. It should be a good time—especially since we haven't seen much of AOE4 since way back in 2019.
"Our broadcast will include a new look at gameplay, civilizations, campaigns, and more" for Age of Empires 4, says the official site. "We will also be sharing some exciting news for our Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition players, as well."
"Get a historical look at one of the most beloved strategy game franchises as Age of Empires celebrates 25 years of delighting players around the globe.
Twitch numbers plummet, influencers jump off and thousands of amateur strategists put the game aside: How the frustration of sluggish updates is wearing down the community.
"Last month, Age of Empires IV released for PC and it marks the first full installment of the franchise since Age of Empires III back in 2005. I spent a good chunk of time on it and had a fairly good time but before I first booted it up, a couple questions kept entering my mind: does Age of Empires have a place in gaming anymore and is the franchise on the whole still worth playing?" - Trey Griffeth from Video Chums
