Age of Empire IV release date

Age of Empires IV was announced all the way back in 2017, and for multiple years there was little development news, as the game’s development was kept relatively quiet. That was until 2019, when Phil Spencer, of Microsoft fame, confirmed the game was set for a 2021 release.

The official release date is October 28th 2021.

Age of Empires IV will feature eight civilizations available at release date which are the Abbasid Dynasty, Chinese, Delhi Sultanate, English, French, Holy Roman Empire, Mongols, and Rus.
