Bundle info. Company of Heroes and other well-loved strategy game developers Relic Entertainment have been developing it for some time now. Although new information about AoE 4 was scarce for a while, it's finally popped back up with a new gameplay trailer and a release date for Age of Empires 4 is in development by Relic Entertainment, creators of the Company of Heroes series and other beloved strategy games.

It's the first new entry in the series in well over ten years—AoE 3 was released all the way back in —but we won't have long to wait.

During the E3 trailer, Microsoft and Relic finally gave us a release date, but you can also get to play a bit earlier. Relic's already hosted some closed betas, and from Friday, September 17 , everyone can play through Steam or the Xbox app, even if you're not part of the Insider programme.

There's also what look like Genoese crossbowmen at one point. Unfortunately, Age of Empires 4 will not be available to play the night before its release, unlike other digital AAA titles. Fans will instead have to wait until the day of. Considering that the final PC release date for Age of Empires 4 was shown during Microsoft's E3 presentation , it would make sense for the company to reveal the console release date during one of its streamed presentations or via a surprise trailer drop.

And if Age of Empires 4 also comes to Xbox Game Pass on consoles , it could turn out to be a good reason for people to subscribe to Microsoft's service.
