About This Game

From the creators of the award-winning Age of Empires franchise, Age of Mythology: Retold goes beyond history to a mythical age where gods, monsters, and humans collide. Experience an immersive real-time strategy game with an epic campaign, cooperative and competitive multiplayer, and the all-new Arena of the Gods game mode. Secure your domain, command legendary monsters, and call upon the power of the gods to achieve victory.

Will you become Mythic?

Embark on multiple campaigns spanning 50-missions that take you across a vast, mythical world: besiege the mighty walls of Troy, battle Giants in the frozen wastes of Midgard, and discover the mysteries of Osiris in the shifting sands of Egypt. Become a hero of myth—or even a god.

Choose your gods from the Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and Atlantean pantheons. Devastate your enemies by summoning powerful lightning storms, earth-shattering quakes, and even the famed Nidhogg dragon. Or call upon nourishing rains and protective Dryads to help your people grow & prosper.  Plus, with the new Immortal Pillars expansion*, you can call upon the great floods and storm dragons of Chinese mythology (*Immortal Pillars available with the Premium edition or sold separately).

Unleash Centaurs, Trolls, Mummies, and more. From bejeweled crocodiles who harness the power of the sun to the mighty one-eyed Cyclops, you will command diverse units inspired by the world’s great mythologies. Plus, with the Immortal Pillars expansion*, command winged tigers, the chaotic Hundun, and the ravenous Taotie of Chinese mythology (*Immortal Pillars available with the Premium edition or sold separately).

Experience Age of Mythology: Retold like never before. In the main game, go head-to-head with friends or challenge the advanced AI across countless, randomly generated maps for endless strategic battles.

For a fresh twist, step into Arena of the Gods—an all-new mode where you take on the role of a legendary hero, facing 35 mythic skirmishes filled with divine challenges. Play solo or join forces in co-op*, battling through epic trials and exploring a whole new way to enjoy the mythological universe. Whether forging alliances or battling alone, each journey is uniquely thrilling and endlessly replayable.
