It's only because it's not mainstream enough but World's Edge seriously don't get enough credit for how they've been the caretakers of the Age of Empires IP over the years, they've hit the mark on quality, quantity and success, they've partnered with great studios and they've handled the IP with care, the amount of content constantly coming from Age of is awesome to see.
In 2025.
- Age of Mythology: Retold Expansion
- Age of Empires II: DE and Age of Mythology: Retold Ports to PS5
- Age of Empires II: DE Expansion
- Two New DLCs For Age of Empires IV + New Modes.
- Age of Empires Mobile Support
Juggling between supporting Age of Empires II: DE, Age of Empires IV, Age of Mythology Retold and even Age of Empires III until recently, it honestly didn't make much sense to support all of them, I don't even care about them killing support for Age of Empires III because they're already supporting 3 other Age of titles, Lol.
Over 6 years they've released 4 titles across Console/PC - Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Age of Empires IV, Age of Mythology: Retold / 1 Mobile Title - Age of Empires: Mobile / Successfully ported Age of to Console without compromise (II, IV and Mythology Retold) / Successfully revived Age of Mythology 22 years after its last release.
Best selling DLC ever for Age of Empires with Age of Empires IV's expansion, 86% on Steam for IV and 83 Opencritic, 89% for Mythology Retold on Steam and 83 Opencritic, 84% on Steam for III DE and 79 Opencritic, 94% on Steam for II DE and 85 Opencritic. Age of Empires IV hitting the highest CCU on Steam. II DE is still hitting 20k peaks, IV is still hitting 10k peaks.
If Age of IPs were more mainstream then World's Edge would be called one of Xbox's best studios.
