Age of Empires 4 Confirmed to be Getting Two New Civs at Gamescom Opening Night Live
Age of Empires 4 is getting two brand-new civilizations. The Malian and Ottoman civilizations were revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live, adding additional layers to the popular game.
As shown during ONL, the Malian civilization will focus on wit and strategy to out-manouvre the enemy. As for the Ottoman civilization, it'll have access to powerful weaponry, including fortress wall-destroying cannons.
The new civilizations arrive on October 25 and join the English, Chinese, Mongol, Delhi Sultanate, French, Abbasid Dynasty, Holy Roman Empire, and Rus civilizations already in the game, bringing the total up to 10. The original release also had four single-player campaigns available at launch.
Age of Empires 4 was released at the end of last year, earning a nomination for IGN's Best Strategy Game of 2021. Our review praised it as an enjoyable RTS throwback, but noted that it was also very safe.
Elsewhere, Gamescom Opening Night Live also included new trailers for Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Island 2, and much more. You can find our full recap here.
