Lately I've been trying to find a competitive game to get back into that I actually enjoy and could Twitch...To my Surprise I've learned that Microsoft Is Starting to heavily invest back into the AOE Franchise which was the first computer game I played as a child. Relative to the past decade theres been Huge Announcements for AOE....In the Past Week Microsoft announced that ALL AOE Definitive Editions will be coming to Steam AND will support Cross play between both Steam and Microsoft stores. This is an ENOURMOUS move for AOE which will cause a Population Boom For Age of Empires and Create a huge Competitive scene for the game - Perfect for Twitch :D
Definitive Edition Versions of the Games offer many improvements to the franchise like 4k graphic and New Civilizations/Campaigns along with a bunch of smaller game improvements and so far from what I can see AOE will Finally get continual support.
AOE 1 DE was a Flop at launch due to Microsoft not really committing much time or effort into it but in the past 6 months it appears Microsoft has Switched gears on AOE and is now pumping out updates I suspect to build up a huge following for the new AOE4 game
AOE 2 DE was just Announced at E3 to come out this Fall!!! Heres the Trailer
