At Gamescom senior producer on Age of Mythology: Retold Earnest Yuen was asked what Retold means for the game’s development, he had this to say “Right, So. For a few years our fans know we have been building these things called definitive editions. And there’s only one key goal that we have, which is that we want to build the title that is in your head,right? Because when you actually think about the games that you grew up with play – like remember fondly. But when you actually try to play the original and look at it for real and look at it and say “that’s not what I remember at all” So we want to build the one that’s actually in your head, how it looks like, how it feels like. So that’s the goal…”
With the efforts of development staff to strike a nostalgic chord with fans and the additional content to boot, Age of Mythology: Retold may succeed on it’s release this March.
