this is honestly not what we should be thinking right now , negativism , confusion , denial are not what we should be giving for the new players.
Game is already if not perfectly balanced near that place and with the news of RPS naval , taunts , cheats and more on season3 we should be happy and move on.
They tooked a long time to bring the game at this precise moment , they knew this all along and they took advantage of the price reduction to seek for players , 3 days after , announcement for gamescom , followed by a tweet , they know what they are doing , this is the perfect momentum and they knew it , you guys really think they are just going to release aoe4 on xbox and thats it? Obviously not! , after all this is i think if not the most important one of the best games to be portrayed at gamescom from Microsoft and they are not going to waste the oportuninity on gaining money with an annoucement of a DLC.
They are just NOT going to go there and talk for 3 hours straight about a trebuchet again , that was just promocial stuff of the previous gamescom.
So here is what you can expect .
DLC – 2 civs minimum (1 is just not going to work and they know it) 99% chance
Xbox launch for aoe4 – Not nesesarily true but it can be.
Maybe a campaign for the new civs – i dont think this is coming any time soon but forgotten empires is looking for jobs for a level designer (already suspicious enough)
And btw , look at what this relic developer has to say . (from the modder discord)
He says he is working ON A LOT of content .
A lot of content is just simply not an xbox port . And he also mencions gamescom at the same sentence .
If this is not enough proove i will punch myself in the face.
Anyway , dont let the hype increase too much , im also cautious.
