In our analysis of Age of Empires IV , we told you: ” Age of Empires IV makes a safe bet by appealing to the classic gameplay of the series, with the right news, but without risking.
If you are a “lifelong fan”, you are going to enjoy it very much, but if you were expecting a deeper evolution, you are not going to find it here “.
Sega , parent company of Relic – creators of the game – has clarified its “alliance” with Microsoft due to the confusion of its “Super Game” on Xbox. ” We already have a very close business relationship with Microsoft.
We have outsourced the development of great games, and as a third party, we offer them a wide variety of games, “said the company in relation to the work of its studios on this game and Halo Wars 2.
” When we announced the Super Game concept, Microsoft sympathized with that vision and takes us to the announcement this time.
On this, we are not talking about exclusive games for Microsoft, rather a development of this Super Game presented to the world at the same time, together with its technical support “.
Time will tell what Sega has in the oven and if Age of Empires is finally coming to Xbox consoles.
