Maybe there is a 10 percent chance that this may happen.
The worst part is that this game still has more players than the brand new AOMR. Meaning that overall dropping support for AOE3 is the financially (and objectively) wrong decision.
And I think this is bad news for the franchise as a whole.
Usually this kind of miss will have implications beyond their immediate circumstances.
The fun part is that AOE3 and AOM generally share the same playerbase. Killing aoe3 like they did was the wrong signal to send for the same players who would potentially play AOM.

They wonât admit mistakes and pick up what they have already officially abandoned. That would make the management look bad.
Very likely they are going to ditch both games

Unfortunately i think ditching both games will probably be the most likely outcome.

If theyâll kill support for 3 then theyâll kill support for 4 or AMOR.
At least thatâs how some potential customers will see it.
This was an incredibly damaging to the brand decision.

Amor is love in Spanish
They just have hate
You mean AoMR, right?
Ehhhm no. Please review last Post âCelebrating Age in 2025 and Whatâs Still to Come This Year!â
Hedging your bets on DLC for 2DE and IV, plus AoE Mobile, to keep you afloat doesnât sound very wise.

Yup. Horrendous decision. Why should we think theyâll support AOMR when they killed AOE3DE when it had twice the playerbase? Why should we think AOE4 will get anything more when the main dev, Relic, has gone almost completely underwater and the eSports scene for AOE4 never rivaled AOE2?
They destroyed all customer confidence in the series with a single careless move.

And itâs made worse because they could have canceled the game like 2 years ago with a decent send off patch and people probably would have only been like one tenth as upset.

Yes, I say Iâll give AoM a try until after the Japanese DLCâŠthen weâll have to pray for the American pantheons to come out next year and another game to be killed by 2027âŠ
Yes, they could have made the entire base game free in 2023 and no one would have complained because they were going out in style and no one would have complained about the Baltic DLC because it simply didnât exist, beyond two revolutionary flags in the files, and they could have more calmly focused on RetoldâŠ
I wouldnât hold your breath if I were you. I, along with I think most people, expect no further DLC after Japan. If the studio wonât make a 2 civ DLC with no campaign for us, why would they make a 3 civ DLC with an expansive campaign for a game with half the players? China and Japan were guaranteed as they were presold. Anything else⊠We have a better chance getting support back for AOE3 than AOM has of getting more DLC.

Ironically, there are still more players than AoM Re, despite they left behind many performance issues

Yeah, and still is (20 characters)
