So we know why it’s quiet about AoE 3 - most likely the creators of AoE 3 are busy working for AoM:R.
So if AoM:R is seriously going to be a remake on the AoE 3 DE engine then we can expect this game to be supported for some time - so probably not for a very long time there will be no AoM 2, which probably wouldn’t make sense in the face of a remake of this games that can be developed for a very long time.
It makes me sad that the developers probably need to be more focused on creating AoM: R instead of developing AoE 3. In fact, nothing really new interesting has been added to the game since October 2022. The promised Big Spring Update if it was in March is a complete disappointment - I hope I’m wrong and we haven’t received it yet.
