The entire Age of Empires franchise is getting a modern polish

You didn't really think that Microsoft would take a break after releasing Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (October 19) did you? As it turns out, the studio is just warming up for what is supposed to be a complete overhaul of our favorite Wololooo simulator franchise.

In other words, not only is Microsoft working on polishing the first АоЕ game, as well as a brand new Age of Empires IV, but there are also plans to give Age of Empires II and Age of Empires III the "definitive" treatment, too. Here's what Adam Isgreen, Microsoft's creative director, had to say about it:

We couldn’t just relaunch one. Just like we created the Age of Empires: Definitive Edition to honor fans of the series and PC gamers everywhere, we wanted to commit to improving the entire franchise. Get ready for history to repeat itself!

We're not sure what this means for Age of Empires II, since there's already an HD edition with several expansions on Steam, but we're definitely excited to see what Microsoft has in store for us, starting October 19.
