PC Classic 'Age of Empires' Is Receiving a Remaster in Glorious 4K

in LifestyleWords By Graeme Campbell

Real-time strategy gaming fans and nostalgia junkies rejoice, for classic PC title Age of Empires is receiving a remaster with 4K graphics.

Announced at E3's PC Gaming Show, the game will be titled Age of Empires: Definitive Edition and is scheduled to arrive at some point this year. The original was released 20 years ago and is considered by many to be one of the greatest and most influential RTS games of all time.

In the update, gamers will be able to play all the civilizations from the original Age of Empires and the Rise of Rome expansion. As well as revamped graphics, there will be a new soundtrack, zoom levels, and improved gameplay. An online Xbox Live multiplayer mode also means you'll be able to battle against your friends' dynasties.

Beta sign-ups for Age of Empires: Definite Edition are available now over at the game's official site.

Elsewhere in the gaming world, Microsoft just unveiled the Xbox One X — aka the most powerful console ever.
