Hi guys, when do you think could be come out Aoe Retold? I wish this year probably at the end but i dont know it.
What do you think about it ?
Maybe this fall hopefully. I want to pick it up and try it as Iāve heard AoM is good from everyone. Ive never played AoM and havenāt bought it on steam because AoM Retold is in the works so I will just wait for the new one.
My guess is next year.

Was hyped, now I donāt rly care.
Iām sure theyāll come out with some crap within 1 year or two and no matter if itās bad or good, I may play it for a while.
Players r dumb in all the RTS game genre and it makes the game generally less playable/fun anyway.
Hopefully at the end of this year 
Could you explain this generalisation a bit further? Without explanation it could sound like an insult unless you want it to be one.
Iām doubting that they are going to release this game this year, the lack of news since the announcement is proof of that but more strange things have happened before so who really knows.
I feel the best scenario is we get gameplay trailer & information from the devs and a release date for early to mid summer 2024 sometime in June 2023.

They rarely ever communicate what they are working on.
There was also a radio silence about AoE4 until relatively close to release.
And for DLCs we get nothing until a few weeks before release too.
I donāt expect to hear anything until AoMR is almost complete.
Hopefully, at this moment this is the project in the aoe franchise that Iām more interested in, even if technically it isnāt a age of āempiresā game
We all areā¦itās the only age weāre missingā¦

Despite those facts, itās not the smartest idea/decision. But itās their choice of course.

I agree with you that itās stupid but Iām used to it now.
Itās also definitely a publisher thing.
Relic went completely silent about AoE4 until shortly before release while they were perfectly happy to openly talk about CH3 and even had an open alpha a year before the planned release.

Itās just to maintain the hype prior to the launch of the dlcā¦
In my opinion they should improve their marketing strategies. Maybe by taking some notes from Paradox.

Itās actually basic logic for literally āanythingā, you never even announce the film until itās basically already been filmed and theyāre in the post production phases. Itās same with āmostā game titles. Not at all confusing. Especially as they likely made 0% of it, it will likely take a year (or more) to even see a glimpse.
The same, Paradox is not heaven, they bleed you to dlcsā¦
Iām not saying Paradox is heaven, they are actually extremely greedy, to be honest. But they know what they are doing. They know how to make publicity of their products and make them sell well. They have turned an extremely niche genre of games into some of the most played games on steam, far surpassing any RTS game, which had always been their bigger more popular brother genre.
Confusing marketing like weāve seen with Return of Rome (with many people like even Spirit of the Law expecting something similar to Rome at War), radio silence for months right until release or communicating crucial information of the the dlc in a random facebook reply is simply something that Paradox would never do.
Yes, maybe they didnāt want to show anything so people wouldnāt get bad impressionsā¦ I remember that the insiders were allowed to try the dlc back in December, but since I was with the university I didnāt download the dlcā¦
