Happy Monday, everyone! We hope you’re staying healthy and happy, and think we have just the thing to help you part the clouds of March: a new UPDATE and a new CELEBRATION to bring the best of Spring straight into your home!
Along with the fixes and balance changes that accompany any game update, the team has been working on several new systems for Age of Empires II. Today, you get to enjoy the many fruits (3 – Food please!) of their labor:
- Four brand-new Art of War missions to hone your skills!
- Unique 1v1 and Team map pools in ranked matchmaking!
- Two brand new maps: Four Lakes and Golden Swamp!
- A new Profile Hub now available via the main menu!
- The ability to view ELO in unranked lobbies!
- Various balance changes—including a new unique unit for the Tatars!
- The SPRING CELEBRATION EVENT! (Be outside while you stay inside!)
- …and much more!
There are still plenty of cool features and fixes in the works for April—thanks in large part to the outstanding community members who have stepped up with their feedback and bug reports over the past few months. Your contributions play a big part in determining what to work on next; so, if you have not already, come join us on any (or all) of our official discussion channels and jump into the conversation:
There’s also no better time to be a part of the Age of Empires II community—and this is only the beginning of our journey! The game has come a *long* way in four months, and we still have plenty of territory to explore, relics to capture, battles to win, and wonders to build as our community continues to grow. For now (and from all of us): stay safe, stay healthy, and we hope the March Update helps you enjoy your time inside.
We’ll see you on the battlefield!
—The Age of Empires Team
