  So it’s a re-remaster? Or is there something new compared to the Extended Edition?

    Yeah it seems like a remaster. Or more specifically via a re-implementation as a sort-of official mod for Age of Empires IV I imagine, and judging from the graphics.

    Excited! This bodes really well for AoM2.

      AoM: Retold is using the AoE3: DE engine, according to comments made back around the time it was first announced.

      Which is amusing, since AoE3: DE’s engine is based on the original AoE3 engine, which in turn was based on the original engine of AoM.

    The Extended Edition was like the HD Edition of Age of Empires 2 (now called “Age of Empires II (2013)” on Steam). This is more like the Definitive Edition. Significant graphics improvements (as opposed to just taking the existing graphics and upscaling them), as well as new content and probably QoL improvements.
