Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is getting new campaign DLC

Proving that true classics never die, the developers behind Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition have just announced another DLC for the legendary RTS. More than 26 years after the original game's launch, players will soon be able to take command of one of history's greatest conquerors in a new campaign focused on Alexander the Great.

The new Chronicles saga campaign was revealed in a trailer, showcasing the military victories of Alexander and his Macedonian forces through a blend of antique art and classic gameplay. The update will also introduce three new playable civilisations to the game's already massive roster: the Macedonians, the Thracians, and the Puru, each shown with their own unique architecture. However, none of these will be available in ranked gameplay. Moreover, the DLC is also introducing 16 new units, four new technologies, and 13 new music tracks to complement the 18-scenario-long campaign.

The ongoing support for Age of Empires II is genuinely remarkable. The Definitive Edition, first released in 2019 to commemorate the game's 20th anniversary, has seen a steady stream of new content that surpasses many modern live-service titles. This continued development, which even saw the game successfully ported to consoles like the PS5 earlier this year, has kept the classic RTS thriving for a whole new generation of players.

The “Chronicles: Alexander the Great” DLC is scheduled to launch on October 14th and will be available for all versions of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.
