Wololo! Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Converts to macOS on May 28th!

One of the most beloved strategy games ever comes to macOS this May, with the arrival of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

Lead diverse civilisations spanning a thousand years of history. Grow a Dark Age hamlet into an Imperial Age citadel. Build a thriving economy, assemble your armies, and do battle across historical single-player campaigns, the hugely replayable skirmish mode, and with other macOS players in online multiplayer.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition comes complete with razor-sharp 4K visuals, a fully remastered soundtrack, and includes three expansions with the base game: Lords of the West, Dynasties of India, and Dawn of the Dukes. Newcomers to the series and returning veterans alike can look forward to all the fast-paced base-building and warfare that make this game a classic, consistently improved over two decades of refinement and additional content.

Empire builders hungry for more will also have access to a large — and still-expanding — stable of DLC purchasable from day one. Players can explore wide-ranging content, from Return of Rome, which transplants the original Age of Empires experience into the modern engine, to The Last Chieftains — exploring the complex medieval societies of South America — which just recently released!

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition lands on Steam for macOS on May 28th, with a Mac App Store release to come later in the year. Keep your eyes trained on our social feed and blog — in the run-up to the Steam launch, we’ll cover everything you need to know about this real-time strategy titan.

Glad Tidings We Bring — Tides of Torment Sweep Total War: WARHAMMER III on macOS & Linux

Tides of Torment are rising on macOS & Linux, with the release of the latest DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER III!

The High Elves, Slaanesh and Norsca all see their rosters expanded, with three new Legendary Lords, a host of battle units, thematic mechanics and narrative arcs in the Immortal Empires campaign:

  • AISLINN, THE SEA LORD: a ruthless and tactically brilliant High Elf prince who commands the entire navy of Ulthuan.
  • DECHALA, THE DENIED ONE: the most feared warlord of Slaanesh’s legions, and is as mesmerising as she is merciless.
  • SAYL, THE FAITHLESS: Norsca’s treacherous and mutated Chaos Sorcerer, known for his mastery of betrayal, manipulation, and dark magic.

All three DLCs can be purchased as one complete bundle or individually, unlocking your preferred Legendary Lord.

Today also sees the release of update 7.0, which includes free access to Total War: WARHAMMER’s 104th Legendary Lord, The Masque of Slaanesh. Also included are legacy updates for High Elves, Slaanesh and Norsca, allowing players to return to past campaigns with new improvements.
