Soon enough, a cult strategy Age of Empires 2 will celebrate his 21st birthday, but today the game continues to live as if it had not been all these long years. Since the release of the HD reissue in 2013, there has been a steady increase in the player base, and with the arrival of the remake Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition the numbers of users who are ready to spend time over this RTS have even caught up with many modern popular titles.
Recently, Age of Empires 2 has for some time become the most popular strategy in Steamand gamers are consistently attracted to both the Definitive Edition and the old HD version project. And the recent tournament in the game had the largest prize pool since 2002.
In April, the average daily audience Age of Empires 2 exceeded the value in 50,000 people, which is an incredibly impressive result for the hit, released two decades ago. April 12, indicators rose to almost 60,000. Right now, both Age of Empires II editions available on Steam are in the top 100 of the most popular Steam games.
For clarity, you can make comparisons with some other popular games on the Steam site. So Age of Empires confidently overtakes individual F2P-entertainments, like War Thunder, and can easily compete in matters of popularity, for example, with the role-playing project Path of Exile. Even to such a grand series as Civilization it’s not always possible to simultaneously gather around such an active audience.
The release of Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition took place last fall. Now Microsoft is preparing a completely new game – Age of Empires 4, which does not yet have an exact release date.
