During Gamescom Opening Night Live, Microsoft debuted a new trailer for Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition, along with the games release date, as it is coming this October.

This is not just a fancy version of the game, there is more content being added to it, much like they did with Age of Empires 2 DE. They have now added a series of Historical Battles set within the time period the game covers, as well as fan favorite Art of War challenges, added after the overwhelmingly positive community feedback from their initial appearance in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition! These challenges are specifically tailored to not only teach you the ins and outs of real-time strategy games, but the unique nuances of Age III’s gameplay and meta that’s evolved over years of play.
