New Details Announced For Age Of Empires II HD Expansion
Age of Empires II never dies. Developer Hidden Path Entertainment revived the 1999 title two years ago with an HD remake, and is now in the process of creating an all-new expansion called The African Kingdoms.
According to a Twitch interview with producer Ryan Chaply at E3, this expansion adds a new twist on building foundations: different foundations such as sand or stone will lead to varying levels of stability. Chaply also revealed the Mali Empire as the second civilization in The African Kings.
For more information, as well as a glimpse of gameplay, check out the video below.
No release date or price has been announced for The African Kingdoms.
