Age Of Mythology: Retold swims like a suspicious swan on to PC and Game Pass this September

Anewbis

Describing itself as ‘an epic and innovative experience for old and new players alike’, Retold - like the original game - riffs on the classicAge of Empiresseries fundamentals with a diverse roster of monsters and creatures. The original release featured three factions: Greek, Egyptian and Norse. Subsequent expansions added Atlantean and Chinese forces, and Retold aims to bundle these additional bits together into a single package.

I have fond memories of Age Of Mythology, although slightly less fond memories of my dad telling me that “easy mode is basically a tutorial” when I finished the campaign before him. No need to get tilted there, dad. It’s fine to admit that my clicking skills have surpassed yours. If you fancy a lil’ deep dive into the updated systems - nothing Atlantean, but Swan-level at least - Edwin wrote about themhere.
