After two years of silence, Age of Empires IV from Relic Entertainment and the newly named World’s Edge was fully unveiled by Microsoft at X019 Its developers claim that, like any good sequel, it will still serve as an evolution of the classic RTS series in many ways. Today, a new behind the scenes video about the game’s development was released and gives us more insight into what the vision for Age of Empires IV really is.
Game Director Quinn Duffy, Art Director Zach Schlappi, Creative Director Adam Isgreen, Community Manager Eliot Hong and General Manager Shannon Loftis all highlight various improved aspects of Age of Empires IV and its vision in this follow up video. Some of the big new things highlighted included the new art and style, which is much more detailed and lively than Age of Empires II.
They also claim that the AI of units in Age of Empires IV is different than any other RTS on the markets as each person you control has their own voices, personality, and interesting tactics.
