Get ready to witness the epic clash of gods, monsters, and humans!

Choosing Your Divine Patron

In Age of Mythology Retold, players must carefully select their major god from iconic pantheons like the Greek, Norse, Egyptian and the mysterious Atlanteans.

This pivotal choice will shape your entire playthrough, granting unique strengths, abilities, and even mythical units to command.

Let’s explore some of the confirmed gods making an appearance:

Zeus, King of Olympus, wields unparalleled power over thunder and lightning. Summon devastating bolts to obliterate enemy forces, or cause the very ground to quake and crumble their structures.

The trickster Loki aims to sow chaos with his devious powers. Cloak your armies in invisibility or spawn the fearsome dragon Nidhogg to incinerate foes.

Isis, Egyptian goddess of magic and rebirth, rains down meteors from the skies. Her domain also includes prosperity, aiding economic growth and technological advancement.

While other fan favourites like Odin, Ra and Poseidon make appearances, one unidentified plant-like goddess could hint at new additions to the pantheon.

Mythical Campaigns and Modes

Immerse yourself in an epic narrative spanning over 50 missions across multiple campaigns.

Relive legendary tales as you besiege the walls of Troy, battle frost giants in Midgard, or uncover the mysteries of Osiris in Egypt.

Of course, Age of Mythology Retold would be incomplete without classic game modes like the Conquest battles.

Raise awe-inspiring armies of mythical creatures – from centaurs and cyclopes to mummies and jewel-encrusted crocodiles – and crush your opponents through cunning strategy.

While staying true to the original’s beloved core, this remake introduces various modern enhancements.

Expect revamped visuals bringing the mythological world vividly to life, streamlined real-time strategy gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements.

The strategy title is being developed by Xbox Game Studios and is a spin-off of the popular Age of Empires series.
