Great another console RTS that I'll happily ignore when there could have been a proper sequel on PC.

Make it happen! Would love it if Xbox became the console king for RTS games.

We're talking Xbox, the game will also come to the Windows Store.

OT: What kind of Age Empires? Because if it's like that Online game, they can keep it all to themselves...

Also, what studio will make it? Will they also hire Creastive Assembly once they finish Halo Wars 2? See, MSoft, how dumb you were when you closed Ensemble.

It is probably new Age of Empires game from Decisive games who were hiring last year for beloved RTS game. Decisive games hasnt been shutdown by Microsoft so I assume they are still working on their game.

Nice. So Decisive Games is kinda like a new Ensemble Studios?

Why is this information new to me? I love Ensemble and AoE  

Oh right. I forgot about that.

Prediction: it will be a third person cover shooter made by a mediocre eastern-European outsource team, who will be shut down before the game hits the shelves

In all honesty, great news. Been some time I have played some good old fashioned AoE

Fantastic news. I had forgottern this rumour for a while, but if that is truly an MS employee who tweeted then it's solid confirmation that the new game is in development.

Fantastic that thery're at all considering it (and it's about time, so much potential and income wasted for Microsoft's gaming business by ignoring one of the best game series of all time. And so sad for the legacy of RTS).

Now remains who will dare to develop it, and what age and setting they will choose!

It will be such a hard task to make a new Age of Empires. There's so many who're still very passionate about Age of Empires 2 and demand it will be in that style and very back to the roots. It will be very tough to convince them about any modern game design features.

It's quite bold of MS to even try making a new Age game after so many years. Geeez, such pressure on the producer to not screw this up. I don't expect it to come out in at least three years sadly.

I know that many fans wants the series to go back in time instead of forward, and this makes me personally extremely happy because I love the ancient and medieval eras. I Think the public pressure will force them to go medieval even if the logical step is to go to World War 1 or something.

I still love to play Age of Empires 2 HD and play it quite often in multiplayer. I adore this game. Top 5 of all time.
