Age of Empires, Mythology Expansions Coming to PS5

Xbox Game Studios announced the expansion 'Immortal Pillars' for Age of Mythology: Retold, highlighting Chinese folklore, to be released on March 4, 2025, coinciding with its PlayStation 5 launch. The expansion introduces new gods, units, and a campaign, available for $20 or included in the Premium Edition. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Age of Mythology: Retold will also be available on PlayStation 5, marking a significant multi-platform move to unify the gaming community through cross-play. Further expansions for Age of Empires 4 are planned, including two DLCs introducing new civilizations and game modes. This strategy aligns with Microsoft's broader push to expand Xbox titles to rival platforms, following the recent announcement of Forza Horizon 5 for PlayStation 5. The initiative emphasizes community growth and strategic diversity in gameplay across platforms.
