Age of Empires was originally launched for PC in 1997. Since then, the historical real-time strategy series has had multiple releases on platforms such as home consoles and mobile devices. With Age of Empires 4 pleasing fans on PC and Xbox, Microsoft is making another attempt to attract smartphone audiences with the upcoming Age of Empires Mobile.
Development for the title began in 2021, but it currently does not have a planned release schedule. It is currently co-developed by TiMi Studio in partnership with World’s Edge, and Xbox Game Studios serves as its publisher.
Brayden Fan, studio general manager of the Age of Empires Mobile team at TiMi Studio, tells GamesIndustry.biz that the game was not necessarily pitched. Instead, the project came about after years of collaboration with the gaming firms.
