Microsoft head confirms Age of Empires 4 release making progress
When confronted with the question about the details of Age of Empires 4, Phil said that the development team is making good headway. He cautiously strayed away from the specific details of the game.
According to Spencer, the move of keeping the details a secret is a precaution so that the development team can take the game in the right direction with a correct context.
This statement draws parallels to what the level designer of Cyberpunk 2077 has said in the past.
Spencer further explained that development is an iterative process in which ideas are created, scraped, revied, and killed through the development cycle.
Looking at the stance of Spencer and Relic Entertainment, the studio behind the development of the game it is clear that both are in the same boat.
Spencer made it clear Relic and Microsoft is not hesitating in taking cues and inspirations from the last three titles of the franchise. Developers are also collecting info and suggestion from the community reports PCGamer.
What to expect from Age of Empires 4?
Even though the details in the trailer are scarce many are speculation are on the rise. According to the speculation, the game will play through different times of history.
As Spencer mentioned, we expect that the game will utilize the same core mechanics with a modern twist.
Age of Empires 4 Release Date
Even though Relic and Microsoft have released a teaser trailer for the game, details about the release date are shoddy.
