Age of Empires 4 (IV) - Possible release date at the Xbox event X019 in London

Age of Empires IV (4) and its possible release date

It was announced over two years ago, then there was silence. After Age of Empires 3, Age of Empires 4 was supposed to be the new title in the popular strategy game series. After the announcement in 2017, in which not much was revealed about the game, there was no more information for a long time.

News from Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg

Now there are some new things ahead for Age of Empires 4. This is indicated by a tweet from Microsoft's marketing manager Aaron Greenberg. In this tweet he writes about a "new age". At the same time, he associates this new era with X019. At the Microsoft event on November 14, 2019, the company could reveal first details about the game, possibly also first pictures or even gameplay. Many fans had already hoped that Microsoft would reveal first details at Gamescom, but were disappointed. But even here Aaron Greenberg let it be known that fans should wait until X019.

X019 takes place on the same day as the release of the Definitive Edition of Age of Empires 2. With the Age of Empires series, you choose a historical people, build a city, collect resources and defeat the enemy with an army. Age of Empires 1 was set in ancient times, Age of Empires 2 in the Middle Ages and Age of Empires 3 was all about the colonial era and modern times. Where the journey with Age of Empires 4 goes is so far unknown. The announcement trailer from 2017 showed all previous ages and, like Aaron Greenberg, spoke of a "new age". Even if first information about the new title were to appear on X019, fans would probably have to wait a while for the actual release.
