Age of Empires IV

Age of Empires IV lands this Thursday, but you can join the Game Informer crew today for a look at some huge elephants and a conversation about the iconic real-time strategy franchise right here, today! That’s right, it’s another action-packed episode of New Gameplay today featuring Dan Tack, Alex Stadnik, and John Carson. Come on in and enjoy the show.

Age of Empires IV features eight different civilizations on launch, with many different ways to play each. Whether you want to try some aggressive economic expansion as the Mongols or just build forty farms and sell all your food at the market for cash is up to you. In this video, we make elephants as the Delhi Sultanate, because they crush pretty much everything.

Age of Empires IV is available on PC and Xbox Game Pass for PC this week. Could it ever come to a console environment? Traditionally, RTS has been difficult to move over to console due to the control scheme, but it’s not unheard of.
