Age of Empires 4 is still in development. Microsoft he is keen to reiterate this, evidently to fill the lack of new information in recent months. Speaking about the game was Shannon Loftis, the head of Wolrd’s Edge, who spoke of great progress for the game.
“I don’t want to make you jealous, but we literally play it every day,“Loftis said, then specifying that the game is being tested”in both Washington and Vancouver.“
Someone is already playing it and we are not. Apart from the immense injustice that this sentence implies, it is nice to know that we are already in such an advanced phase of development, so much so that we can assume that we will see 2021 (it’s a hope, not a certainty, mind you).
Loftis: “Develop a RTS it’s fun: it takes a while to build the various systems (artificial intelligence, sim, rendering etc) and it takes a while to put them together. But when it is done, here is the game; a game that needs debugging, rebalancing and refinements, but whose foundations are what will come to the players. The best part is that it looks like an Age of Empires.“
Age of Empires 4 was announced in August 2017. Specialists from Relic (World’s Edge is the studio that manages the franchise), currently from home like many other teams. According to Loftis, Relic has adapted very well to the new conditions and production of the game has remained in line with what was planned, despite the jolt.
