After seeing hundreds of strategy games reach mobile platforms with the tagline “Empires”, it was impossible for the true representative of real-time strategy inspired by historical civilizations not to launch its own official version for mobile phones. Well, it's going to happen, it's called Age of Empires Mobile and it looks like this.
First trailer for Age of Empires Mobile
The first look at Age of Empires Mobile has arrived via the “New Year, New Age” event, where the Age of Empires team showed the world all the news related to the franchise, giving details of Age of Mythology: Retold, explaining the new DLC for Age of Empires II and many more news. But if there is something that caught our attention in particular, it was the first images of the mobile version of Age of Empires.
In this first trailer, it has been seen how the game will allow resource management, army control and character selection, with a renewed game mode specially designed for mobile phones but that does not lose the essence of the strategy game par excellence.
Available civilizations
As we can see on the official website, they will be 4 civilizations available in the new game (at least the ones shown for now), finding the French, Byzantines, Romans and Chinese. And there will be no shortage of historical figures, since Alexander the Great, Barbarossa, the Queen of Sheba, Hammurabi, Cleopatra and Charlemagne will be some of those in charge of forming the powerful armies that will try to conquer the world.
Real time strategy
The game, despite being designed for mobile phones, presents mechanics based on real-time strategy, as shown in the presentation trailer. The Scenarios They will be a very important part of the games, since depending on the nature of the terrain the troops will respond and move in one way or another, being able to make ambushes in the forest or slow down due to the mud of a swamp.
As if that were not enough, the unmistakable soundtrack does its thing in the presentation video, which leaves an atmosphere that makes your hair stand on end. And every Age of Empires lover will be amazed by these first images of the game.
When does it come out?
At the moment the game only allows you to start the pre-registration process, so we will have to wait until the first reviews of the game appear and officially announce the final release date. Those who register in advance now will earn rewards for helping the cause, and these rewards will improve as the number of registered players increases.
Will it be paid?
The most Age of Empires Mobile likely to include micropayments with which to obtain extra resources, unlock historical figures and, ultimately, offer that pay-to-win point that the public so little likes. The suspicion of this is that the game's website offers the possibility of entering a raffle for $20 to spend in the Play Store, which invites us to think that there will be a store within the game.
