Experience the newest iteration of Age of Mythology and let us hear any feedback you might have too! Can't join us for the closed beta this weekend? Keep an eye out for more news on a future Stress Test that will be accessible to all Steam players for a limited time, without the need for a pre-order.

Haven't pre-ordered your copy of Age of Mythology: Retold? It's not too late to join the fun!
If you pre-order the Premium Edition anytime, you'll be eligible for the beta - even if it has already started!

When:

The official Age of Mythology: Retold Closed Beta will run from Friday, July 12th through Sunday, July 14th.

What:

Try out three of the four Pantheons, including Greek, Norse, and Egyptian. Call upon a host of mythological creatures and godly powers to dominate your enemies.

Why:

Our community is important to us, as is player feedback. At this stage of development, we’re interested in getting Age of Mythology: Retold into the hands of the player to:

Fine-tune our existing systems, World’s Edge and our development partners are counting on you to play as many matches as you’re able to while trying out the various game features available during the beta!
Arm our development team with impactful bugs or balance feedback. Balance is ongoing, so the unit balance you see during the closed beta isn’t necessarily reflective of what you’ll see when the game launches or as the meta evolves.
Share your ideas on how to best grow Age of Mythology: Retold post-launch. While our primary focus during closed beta is to ensure stability and lend overall polish to the game by conquering impactful bugs, we’re also eager to hear your thoughts. The Age of Mythology: Retold team is dedicated to continually improving and growing the game while making sure it stays true to the roots of the Age of Mythology you know and love. As a beta participant, you help guide our vision.

Censorship and wokeness

Skeletons have been removed or altered for the Chinese market.

Chinese Expansion

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if they will be scrapping the original Chinese expansion and replacing it with the new Chinese expansion mentioned by the developers, or will they be adding the second one to the original campaign? While the Tale of the Dragon campaign wasn't the best, it wasn't completely horrible either, and I would hate to see it scrapped. Any official information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!...

Terrible Voice Acting

Does anybody else feel that the voice acting is just subpar compared to the original? Especially in cutscenes, they just feel so lifeless and forced. You can easily compare them by watching old cutscenes on YouTube.... this isn't just a nostalgic effect....
