A recent leak from someone's job history has revealed some great news for Age of Empires fans, as if this year couldn't get any better for them.
Has the above image made you deeply nostalgic? If you have good taste (and you're starting to see some gray hairs) then it certainly will have done. Age of Mythology was effectively a sequel to AoE 2 set in antiquity. And it looks like this masterpiece, along with an Xbox port of AoE 4, could be in the works…
Unannounced Titles From The Current Age of Empires Studio
An employee for World's End, the studio currently at the helm of Age of Empires, accidentally gave away a little too much on LinkedIn recently and revealed that the studio has multiple unannounced titles in the work. We thought they were just focused on balancing AoE 4 and working on DLC, but no. We don't want to bring any more heat on the employee who gave the game away, but here was their job history description:

Having brought back Age of Empires with such great success, an Age of Mythology reboot was obviously in the works too. But the idea of an AoE 4 Xbox port has really made us curious, and not the least bit excited.
By the way, if you are an Age of Empires fan, and you've been on the fence about buying AoE 4, then can we advise you to try it through Game Pass. It's a fantastic game, albeit the French are broken right now (damn Royal Knights), and you could play a ton for only a dollar with this trick:
How Would Age of Empires Work On Xbox?
Many of you may have read this news and thought: absolutely not, how could a strategy game possibly work on console? Well, it could actually work, and it has quite successfully in the past. Games like Northgard and Halo Wars have proven that strategy games can work well on console. Granted, they may need to simplify the menus to be optimized for a controller, but still, these games give us hope. Although for the sake of our wallets, it probably wouldn't be good to have even more reasons to buy an Xbox…
