Even though, Ensemble Studios is no more, players like Fatih Yuzbasioglu and his team, are working on mods to keep the game alive.
Producer of the Ottoman Empire Realism Mod, which is the 5th best indie mod for Empire: Total War is also working on Age of Empires 3. The team says that, The Ottoman Empire will have many unique designs in the game and there may be even a special scenario for players who want to play as the Ottoman Empire. He also provided us, Oyun Fest, with a special screenshot to show how the process is going. The release date is not yet announced, though, the many things in the game, including naval army to workers to GUI, will be changed.
We as Oyun Fest are backing him up on this project and ask all the players, who still want to see Age of Empires saga to stay in action, to spread this news and help them in their course.
"Last month, Age of Empires IV released for PC and it marks the first full installment of the franchise since Age of Empires III back in 2005. I spent a good chunk of time on it and had a fairly good time but before I first booted it up, a couple questions kept entering my mind: does Age of Empires have a place in gaming anymore and is the franchise on the whole still worth playing?" - Trey Griffeth from Video Chums
Age of Empires 3 : Definitive Edition has been officially rated in Brazil - signalling that the game is scheduled to release sometime in 2020.
Age of Empires III Definitive Edition is coming. In fact, multiplayer Beta sessions will take place in early February for Insiders.
Hope to see a day where it'll be on consoles again. I miss these games and C&C
Looking forward to this. Fell back in love with this game after the definitive editions launched. Ended up buying it on windows store and then again, again through steam for the third time. This B one looks amazing!
I miss Ensemble and Age of Empires.
