I don’t see anything to suggest that there will be another DLC this year that hasn’t been alluded to already. I’d love to be wrong, but considering how long it’s taken them to put out some fairly simple things that were announced a while ago (e.g. “Popular mods as in-game settings”), I don’t see an unknown multi-civ DLC catching us by surprise.
They said " So, you liked Dynasties of India? We’re taking notes."
Plot Twist:
They will be publicly releasing all the notes they took about how people liked Dynasties of India. Pages and pages of notes. High notes, low notes, great loads of quotable notes of how they kept our hopes afloat as a boat upon a moat with new civs upon which we did dote, at which feat they did gloat that AOE2 was voted in as the GOAT.
No new (Medieval) civs though, that’s so 2022.
I think they have been working in a very different way with a different size team back then.
It was also the first expansion they made to AoE2HD (Forgotten Empires was made as a mod before AoE2HD).
Im ok for patience ! But usually studios post some few teasers before relase date announcement. For RoR, there wasn’t any announcement for a half year, even not a post on Twitter. That’s why I thought it was dead in the egg.
Similar case with Dynasties of India whose achievements popped up in January/February 2022 along with the DLC’s codename “Porto” and the exact content was revealed only two weeks before release: https://www.ageofempires.com/news/dynasties_of_india_is_here/
In case of RoR, the achievements for it popped up last month (yet hidden and named placeholder-like) and the DLC itself also started appearing on SteamDB as hidden and unnamed So it’s perfectly in time also considering they worked on the Xbox Port, are probably busy with AoM Retold and helping out on AoE 4 as well.
