This man’s enthusiasm and passion for the game is contagious. His energy brings me back when I was a kid playing AoM for the first time. ❤ Can’t wait! ^^

[@ageofempires]

We love that Earnest's passion comes across. Can confirm he has great energy!

[@onlywithbuts1781]

I thought the same, makes me smile along.

[@joyboy018]

Passionate people will make an amazing game. Can’t wait!!!

[@konjecture]

He is very earnest.

[@smaoproducts]

Is it possible that we could choose between the original and new soundtrack whilst playing? The original just has so much nostalgic value.

[@akaMaddy]

That's what im hoping too! 😀👍

[@peterjoy1606]

There'll be mods if not

[@hzafary]

We need details on the soundtrack period

[@foxden2112]

The soundtrack sounds very similar from the leaked gameplay that has made the rounds on the internet. Given that we haven’t been able to switch soundtracks for the definitive age games I am gonna assume we won’t be able to do it for AoM Retold

[@smaoproducts]

@@foxden2112 They kept the soundtrack for AoE3 exactly the same with new special intro themes for all of the civs. I’d love to see something like this.

[@DanDauzacker]

Just to share a bit, this game was not only my childhood but it really seeded my mind with the mythology of Atlantis that now, at 30 i have a Published book (fantasy/fiction) about Atlantis.

[@PhotonTrooperGaming]

that's amazing, man!!! I loved to read what each tech had to teach regarding mythological names and meanings, it was very insightful for a kid, haha

[@DanDauzacker]

@@PhotonTrooperGaming yes!! Me too!!

[@raptorhacker599]

So what's Ur book name?

[@DanDauzacker]

@@raptorhacker599 It is Called "Atlantida - A Guerra Lemuriana" (Atlantis - The Lemurian War) I'm Brazilian so (for now) it is only in portuguese. But be my guest to buy the E-book :D

[@narayann989]

I grow up with aoe1 and aoe2, nostalgic games and my childhood was a part of this games, now i am suprised for this annouce. Amazing 😮😮😮

[@TheMrYadrian]

Finally, Pantheons' Powers are 'rechargeable', this was the only thing which annoyed me during my plays.

[@KingDennyFrost]

Im glad the god powers are rechargeable so i don’t have to use the damn cheat code every time to refresh them 😊

[@G3rm4nc1t0]

Ngl, I'm more hyped about the second expansion than the remaster itself, hoping they bring a Mesoamerican pantheon (Olmec, Mayan or Aztec)

[@HonnePerkele]

I'm hoping for a Finnic pantheon. I am well awateit will not be in the first 3 or 5, but I am praying for one day to get that :)

[@akaMaddy]

I wonder if Hathor has been switched out for Sobek. I'd like that because it makes much more sense since the Petsuchos' correct name - as we can see in Retold - is Petsobek which means "descendant of Sobek". I also hope that Trolls, Promethians, Wadjets, Fenris Wolves and Manticores get buffed. They are very weak compared to other myth units in the same age.

[@MaxHohenstaufen]

Yes, I clearly remember them being most useless. Specially the winged snake. Trolls can pack some punch is you mass them, which was difficult to do in the OG where myth units cost a lot of pop and the game has a very low pop cap.

[@halow11]

Don't know if Sobek was put instead of Hathor, but the name of the Petsuchos has changed, they did another video giving an insight about the game after Summer game fest (I think it's on the Xbox channel on KZbin) and they show at some point some attacking units and when they select the Petsuchos it says Petsobek :) if I find the video and the timestamp I will share it here!

[@akaMaddy]

@@halow11 yeah i saw the gameplay video with the "new" petsobek. 🙂

[@Javalin197Gaming]

This is looking to be on one heck of a game. I grew up with this game. I can't wait to revisit it. My one grip is the Gaia redesign. Feeling like my Goddess Titan of the whole earth has been nerfed into a tree.

[@raptorhacker599]

I used to pick Gaia because of her assets.

[@RancorSnp]

I am very happy with the redesign. It went from "guys we have to ship the game out but we don't have a design for Gaia - 'just make it a big woman and ship it'" to actually looking like the personification of earth

[@TheAndi073]

While I liked the old portrait of Gaia, the newer one seems more fitting for a primordial goddess of the earth and nature

[@funny_liquid7111]

Looks Amazing! Only one thing bothers me, did you change the original voice acting for the main heroes, if yes I'll be very disappointed

[@Tristanimator_]

I dont think they can find the same voice actors from 20 years ago

[@funny_liquid7111]

@Tristanimator_ The files are still there, no need to replace them, and if you want to add more missions, I think we are at the point where they can use Ai. If the actors allow

[@MrValkilmer35]

The only game in the Age series I played as a kid was AoM! And I played it so much! I'm beyond excited for this remake thank you guys for making it!

[@BabaYaga-RTS]

I can really feel his energy and enthusiasm through the aom retold development process! Im gonna make some more pyrography artwork of AOM soon...

[@Ramsesamonra]

*I'm going to pre order this asap, game of my childhood can't wait for a remake ❤️👍👍👍*

[@_saw_aom]

Earnest is earnestly enthusiastic about this game and I love it. You can tell he loves Age of Mythology Retold and is excited to share it with everyone ❤

[@SpinDlsc]

Now if only we can get the same teams working on the Warcraft games, since they're all under the Microsoft umbrella. I would LOVE to see a remake of Warcraft 2 done by these guys!

[@DragonflyCis]

I really like that Gea is now like a Dryad.

[@MaxHohenstaufen]

My current laptop probably can't run retold. I might have to get a new one.

[@Comunposting]

If they're following the settings flexibility from the AoE III DE and AoE IV probably your laptop could run it without shadows and potato shaders

[@MaxHohenstaufen]

@@Comunposting well, my laptop runs aoe3DE. Haven't tried aoe4 though.

[@Comunposting]

@@MaxHohenstaufen Retold it's going to use an upgraded version of the aoe3 engine, so let's hope the requirements don't change too much. btw aoe4 it's good, but I advise you to wait for retold lmao

[@MaxHohenstaufen]

@@Comunposting oh, be sure, I'll wait. I have waited for years. AoM was my fav game back in 2003 and I'm hyped as f.

[@abdel1143]

Glad this is coming to Xbox consoles Day-1

[@KeeNGaming]

Could you please upload a 1v1 PVP video of decent players? I think everyone would want to see how the game actually plays! Thank you

[@onlywithbuts1781]

Really excited for this one, it will be a unique experience to see it in new clothes being able to compare and appreciate what's new and also congratz for reaching the 100K fans!

[@madievrt]

Can't wait! I'm very curious though about the "original concept" you mentioned at ~07:11 minutes. Does that mean, that we can expect even more gameplay changes than the renewable god powers? What does this mean for the campaign (it is altered to fit the new/changed gameplay)? What about the synchronisation of the game? Are there new voice lines and are they from a new cast entirely or can we look forward to the iconic original cast (in all languages) we are grew up to and only the new dialogue is done by a cast?

[@AlexanderMcArthy]

Been around since RoRome - but AoM has my heart above the rest. Can't wait to find out what the 2nd DLC pantheon is

[@mihajlohranisavljevic6412]

I trust this guy Earnest Yuen , he and the team will bring us a great game, you can see he likes AOM!

[@DarkMSG]

I hope they don't keep the auto queue from the titan's expansion, just make it normal like the other age of empires games pls!!!

[@TheMrYadrian]

'They listened...' yes they have been listening for more than 20 years to just release Retold version...

[@Calebol04]

I would like you to talk a little about what the multiplayer experience will be like, will there be dedicated servers, an accessible scoring system, seasons, etc.? They haven't said anything so far.

[@Stan_S_Stanman]

Dedicated servers, for sure. That's been the case with all the AOE remasters.

[@shadow-sea]

so excited for this. this game changed my life one of the best parts of my childhood

[@badralmamary3084]

Changed your life?

[@shadow-sea]

@@badralmamary3084 yes can u read

[@hzafary]

Why have the team been silent about the beloved soundtrack? I want to hear some news please!

[@ageofempires]

What questions do you have?

[@akaMaddy]

Is it remastered or fully orchestra re-recorded? Can we choose in settings between classic & new soundtrack?

[@hzafary]

THIS

[@Legion12Centurion]

@@ageofempires Will it be available with the game, is the music remastered, and is there some new songs in the soundtrack?

[@hzafary]

@@ageofempiresfor you to ask what about it indicates some level of neglect. The music of AOM is beloved just like the game. The fact that there has been no showcase of the soundtrack and this “what about it” makes me feel like we are in for an underwhelming soundtrack experience. I hope you prove me wrong

[@R370LD]

I'm anxiously waiting for that day to come.

[@billcable286]

Thank you 🎉❤

[@ageofjohn9615]

What about the sound and the Speakers!??? Are they still the same? 🙏🏻 soundtrack and voices are so amazing hopefully it is still the same

[@harshafartale5775]

This is so amazing ❤ I really wanted to ask if there is going to be come expansion on Indian Pantheon Indian Mythology is rich with so much lore and culture and i am hoping you guys would make something out of if it

[@ESGamingCentral]

Thank you.

[@TheAlexallica93]

Cant wait!

[@raynightshade8317]

Will their also be new campagins? I would love to see ones with the Villains and Folstags story as campagins

[@hani0]

wish we got more gameplay footage

[@breostag.]

This is great!

[@phalanx1284]

Is there any Blood in the Game, like in the Games before?

[@ImperatorPenguin]

Will Retold still allow mods, map editing, etc.?

[@KiluminatiOG]

INCLUDE AUTO QUEUE

[@debu_bd]

When are we getting Age of Mythology 2?

[@TheGuardianofAzarath]

How moddable will the game be? Any news on how mod support will work? (tools for exporting models and animations, textures and such) Is Freyr being added as a major or minor god?

[@5527channel]

game-in graphs doesnt look crazy, i hope they make it slightly better

[@cikif]

When is Age of Mythology: Retold: Definitive Edition coming?

[@royasturias1784]

9/4/2024 CE

[@JPMartinezBlog]

👌👌

[@SP-cp3qu]

nice!

[@prankster959]

No new information. I would like to know if the net code has client side prediction and state reconciliation so that the most laggy players do not slow the game down for everyone. These features are nowhere to be seen in the AOE franchise and it makes no sense in 2024. We want a strongly performing MULTIPLAYER game without constant lag and desyncs

[@RavnusLock]

Microsoft Studios, pleaseeeeee Remake Starcraft 1 & 2 and Warcraft 1 2 and 3

[@rangenniinnjjaarr]

Lessgooo

[@Tingywingy]

Microsoft Studio please Remake Rise of Nation : Rise of Legends

[@klavicus2276]

bit strange interviewer choice but otherwise thanks for more in depth talk. happy to see now frequent updates/news! (finally :P) game looks on point and gorgeous cat wait to see all unit models and some more gameplay

[@alanrair15]

emotional damage!

[@SuperSnowshark]

I absolutely love the energy of the interviewer here, such a genuine person to present the panel!

[@sebastianhage4667]

Please Microsoft, for everything that is holy, please down shut these beautiful devs down.

[@latbat58]

i wanna meet drdisrespect

[@DashzRight]

Check Earnest's sneakers

[@HonnePerkele]

Wishing for Finnic/Uralic panthein :)

[@Burak-wm8tn]

As a Turkic,i would love to see that !

[@Randy7777]

AoM!!!

[@williamb1995]

More pop ?

[@mihajlohranisavljevic6412]

For sure, it was leaked...

[@warbreakr]

My hope is that the game won't be as much min-max'd as AOE2 is. That ruined the fun for me a little bit. Very strict build orders, META's, and Very strong CIV's dictate how you HAVE to play

[@happyiang]

Please, Retold must have auto queue! I can't play without auto queue!😭

[@AHappyCub]

AoM do have auto queue in Titan expansion

[@RancorSnp]

Agreed, autoqueue is MUST to be in the game

[@mnmmnmm]

meh, fine without it tbh

[@DarkMSG]

auto que should be out of the game takes away the all skill gap

[@RancorSnp]

​@@DarkMSG Sorry to say, but if auto queue is all it takes for it to be no skill gap between you and a new player - than that's your skill issue ^^ but don't worry, less than 5% of the playebase played more than a single online match in their lives so vast majority of people won't judge you for your lack of skill :)

[@miguelgomes6849]

hidetaka miyazaki brother

[@alexisbelfer7881]

Why do they keep saying people keep their god power?? Did they ever play the game? Like no one does that, on the contrary you often use it immediately, especially the mythic one.

[@Tristanimator_]

It is not unusual to hold on to god powers in pro games, especially god powes like shifting sands, rain or deconstruction

[@MrShadowThief]

Please remove auto-macro and use the original HQ god portraits. Thanks you.

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

Original god portraits will be there, just as a DLC

[@MrShadowThief]

@@FloosWorld_AoE Yeah, I sure love paying for a lower quality version of old content.

[@mihajlohranisavljevic6412]

​@@MrShadowThiefThere is nonthing wrong with new god portraits, i like them.

[@Ratciclefan]

I'm excited for AoMR and all, but I really want news for the new AoE3 DE expansion

[@manu.lavisse]

igual de acartonado que el 4

[@Diegus-]

a que te referís con acartonado?

[@Calebol04]

yo lo veo fiel al original este remake, acartonado el StormGate esto definitivamente no lo es.
