Age Of Wonders 4: Empires & Ashes Gets A Release Date
Paradox Interactive has confirmed that Age Of Wonders 4: Empires & Ashes is coming soon, as it will launch on PC and consoles this November.
Paradox Interactive revealed this past week that the next expansion for Age Of Wonders 4, called Empires & Ashes, finally has a release date. The shorthand to the expansion is that it will allow players to mix magic and steel together to make mighty war machines as the industrial war-driven Reaver Culture is introduced. You'll also see an Avian physical form, four new Tomes of Magic to dabble in, the "Seals of Power" victory condition, and so much more. We have notes from the team of everything you'll see, plus the teaser video, as it all comes out on November 7 for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
"In Age of Wonders 4: Empires & Ashes, players can 'fly' in the face of the tradition, combining magic and steel with new techniques to create mighty war machines and lay waste to enemy cities.
