Age of Mythology Retold is coming September 25

Microsoft announced that Age of Mythology Retold is coming on September 25 to the PC, Xbox and Xbox Game Pass.

The game is a remake of Ensemble Studios’ Age of Mythology, a real-time strategy video game developed published by Microsoft Game Studios back in 2002. It features Age of Empires style RTS combat with armies and fortresses. But the mythology element adds giant gods who help out in the battle.
