Victors and Vanquished Charges onto the Battlefield

A brand new trailer released today by World’s Edge unveils “Victors and Vanquished,” the latest campaign-focused DLC for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

This highly anticipated expansion delves into the triumphs and tribulations of historical figures, offering players a chance to rewrite the course of history through 19 epic story-driven scenarios.

The trailer, which can be viewed on YouTube or above, highlights the depth and variety players can expect. Community-crafted scenarios like “Ragnar” take centre stage, placing players in the shoes of the legendary Viking Ragnar Lothbrok, tasked with uniting Japan through conquest.

The focus on historical figures extends beyond the Viking Age. The trailer also offers a glimpse into “Out of the Dust,” a scenario where players strive to become Holy Roman Emperor while managing their relationship with powerful vassals.

Adding to the excitement, the expansion boasts five entirely new scenarios, including the strategic “Oda Nobunaga” campaign. Here, players take the reins of one of six distinct Japanese factions, each with unique advantages.

The Oda clan, for instance, boasts the best cavalry in Japan, while the Moria clan leverages its criminal network to recruit special characters.

Victors and Vanquished promises a captivating journey through history, breathing new life into the beloved Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition experience.
