Age of Mythology Retold is a remaster of a spin-off dedicated to ancient mythology.

“The gods will return. Heroes will rise. The legends will collide.”

Michael Mann, head of the American studio World’s Edge, announced the development of Age of Mythology Retold:

We know that the gaming community has been patiently waiting for the Definitive Edition, and we intend to bring it to them. We’re working hard to bring you everything that made the original game great, with updated graphics, new features, and more.

Released in 2002 on PC, Age of Mythology brings a twist to the classic Age of Empires formula with playable cultures based on Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythology. Players could create mythic units by spending a new resource called “favor”, which could be obtained by praying or honoring a god of their choice. Later expansions added new cultures, Atlanteans and Chinese, as well as the ability to summon huge and destructive Titans.

Please note that Age of Mythology received a re-release called Extended Edition in 2014. It offered a number of updates, including Twitch support and graphical improvements.
