The 25th anniversary of the Age of Empires series was surely a memorable one for the fans, as the developers announced new projects as well as upcoming content to existing titles. However, you probably wouldn't have expected an Age of Empires Mobile announcement during the show.

Microsoft and World's Edge celebrated the 25th anniversary of Age of Empires with a live stream last night, during which the developer teased Age of Empires Mobile as an upcoming project. Unfortunately, the developers didn't share anything other than a brief teaser that confirms the existence of such a project. The teaser says that it will be coming out "soon," but it is pretty difficult to translate that "soon" into a proper date. We don't even know whether it will be a free-to-play experience or a paid one.

While Age of Empires 4 was a joint project from Relic and World's Edge, the latter is currently the main developer behind all the upcoming projects from the franchise. During the show, Microsoft revealed Age of Mythology: Retold, which will be the Definitive Edition of the beloved Age of Mythology the way that older Age of Empires titles received a Definitive Edition. World's Edge has promised beautiful visuals and improved controls for Retold, but the studio has avoided sharing any in-game footage for now.

Furthermore, the studio revealed the next season of content coming to Age of Empires 4 and Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition, but more importantly, it confirmed that both titles will be heading to Xbox Series X|S consoles in 2023. Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition will be available on consoles on January 31 next year, while Age of Empires 4 still doesn't have a proper release date. World's Edge confirmed that the console edition of both strategy titles can either be played by an Xbox controller or mouse and keyboard. It's going to be interesting to see how the developer will translate the mouse and keyboard mapping onto a controller in these games.

All Age of Empires titles are already available on PC Game Pass. Obviously, Age of Mythology: Retold will also join this roster when it launches. For now, the developers have not confirmed the console edition of Retold.
