Get ready to battle in the New Age

Welcome to Return of Rome, a brand-new category of an expansion pack that adds Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition's original Age of Empires game as a brand-new standalone experience. With the help of this new expansion, you can compete against friends using the sixteen original Age of Empires civilizations as well as one brand-new civilization, the Lac Viet, which is available only in Return of Rome. With three new campaigns, you can engage in combat throughout the ancient globe while conquerors, empire-builders, and talented tacticians struggle valiantly against destiny. The Romans will also become a new playable culture in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, free from the constraints of time and prepared to fight in the New Age.

About the base game:

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings is, without any doubt, one of the best RTS games ever released. The original version of this 1999's classic may seem somehow outdated. Fortunately, a remaster called Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition improves many aspects of the original and adds new features without losing the game's essence.

Conquer the world!

The game includes all content from the base Age of Empires II game and five expansions:

• The Conquerors,
• The Forgotten, 
• The African Kingdoms, 
• Rise of the Rajas,
• The Last Khans.

It means that the game features an enormous number of 28 campaigns and 35 playable civilizations, each coming with unique units and particular advantages. The Age of Empires franchise is famous for its exciting missions that bravely experiment with traditional RTS patterns. Consequently, AoE II: Definitive Edition offers tons of compelling missions with optional objectives. Furthermore, you may create new scenarios and campaigns using an in-game editor and test your skills in multiplayer.

Modern gameplay

The Definitive Edition brings visual aspects of the game to a whole new level. You'll admire 4K Ultra HD Graphics and the new textures. Moreover, you'll discover new exciting features such as co-op campaigns and The Art of War tutorial.
