Epic Battles and Legendary Heroes: Age of Mythology: Retold Launches

Taking us back to the past is Age of Mythology: Retold on Xbox and PC. 

Available today, to purchase, download and play, is Age of Mythology: Retold. It comes about via the Premium Edition as players get the opportunity to dive deep into a world like no other, gaining early access over the official street release. 

Early Access of Age of Mythology: Retold?

Age of Mythology: Retold is not due to release on Xbox Series X|S and PC until September 4th 2024, but thanks to the power of the Premium Edition (and a little more cash dropped down from your side), you can play today, experiencing everything that Xbox Game Studios, World’s Edge, CaptureAge, Virtuos, Tantalus Media and Forgotten Empires have to offer. 

Priced at £37.99, Age of Mythology: Retold Premium Edition takes the base game, provides 7-days early access, and then chucks in a couple of extra DLC packs and Expansions. It’s probably the best way to play Age of Mythology: Retold. At least if you ask us. 

Not fussed by all the extras? Age of Mythology: Retold will land on Xbox Series X|S and PC come September for £22.49, included in your Game Pass subscription as well. 

But what is Age of Mythology: Retold? Well, this is from those behind the brilliant Age of Empires, as it takes players back to an age of myths, gods, monsters and more. With real-time strategy at play and some stunning visuals, it’ll have you looking to secure your lands, taking charge of various monsters and calling upon the power of the gods.
