Check out the official announcement trailer for this edition of the title.
The trailer showcases gameplay footage of the title running on consoles, and it’s great to see Relic bringing the legendary series to platforms outside of PC to an entirely new audience. The Studio is also bringing Age of Empires IV to PC, and it’s nice to see that isn’t the only franchise expanding to even more control schemes.
SEGA has confirmed that the console edition is being built from the ground and will include a newly designed controller scheme to suit console players and their controller preferences. To increase readability and visibility, the team at Relic is designing the UI specifically for this control scheme. Here is a screenshot showcasing the new UI and console button prompts.
In addition to this, a new feature has been revealed called Full Tactical Pause, which will allow for even more planning during intense combat encounters. Players will experience the narrative-led single-player in the deserts of North Africa. There is also a turn-based Dynamic Campaign Map in Italy for a sandbox-style gameplay experience.
