Publisher Feral Interactive announced today it will bring <em>Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition<\/em> to Apple computers through Steam on May 28, with an App Store release to follow later this year. Feral worked with World&#8217;s Edge, the studio that has managed the Age of Empires franchise for Microsoft since 2019, to develop the port.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wololo! Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Converts to macOS on May 28th!\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bhZ-1I_WhRE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like its PC counterpart, the <em>Definitive Edition<\/em> on Mac will include content from <em>AoE2&#8217;s<\/em> original <em>Age of Kings<\/em> release alongside its highly regarded <em>The Conquerors<\/em> expansion. It also comes with three pieces of more recent DLC: <em>Lords of the West<\/em>, <em>Dynasties of India<\/em> and <em>Dawn of the Dukes.<\/em> Between those, you could easily spend hundreds of hours playing all the included single player campaigns. (I know I did.) This being a remake, you also get updated graphics, music and about two decades of quality of life improvements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For multiplayer, you will also have access to many of the civilizations that are in the game. If you&#8217;re still keen to play more <em>AoE2<\/em> after all that, every piece of DLC available for the PC version of the game, up to and including the most recent <em>The Last Chieftains<\/em> expansion, will be available to purchase separately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Technically, this isn&#8217;t the first time <em>Age of Empires II<\/em> has been available on Mac. The original game arrived on Mac back in 2001, but this is the first time the <em>Definitive Edition<\/em> has been available on Apple&#8217;s operating system since it was released on PC back in 2019. Notably, this is the first Microsoft title to make its way to Mac since <em>Psychonauts 2<\/em> in 2021. Seven years is a long time to wait for a game to release on another platform, but the nice thing about <em>Age of Empires II<\/em> is the community hasn&#8217;t left the game. On Steam, there are consistently about 20,000 people playing at any time, so you can always find a match.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n<\/article>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; One of the greatest real-time strategy games ever is making its way to macOS (again).
