Microsoft to bring Age of Empires to mobile in October [Video]

Age of Empires Mobile is in development for quite some time, but the game is almost ready for its debut, Microsoft announced this week. TiMi Studios and World’s Edge confirmed that Age of Empires Mobile will go global on October 17.

However, “global” doesn’t really mean every country in the world. Not by a long shot. Apparently, we should expect another announcement(s) to learn more about the “available countries and regions.” That’s unfortunate, but not unexpected considering how app stores work these days.

On the bright side, if you’re a fan of strategy games and don’t mind playing on your smartphone, you’ll be happy to know that Age of Empires Mobile has been built from the ground up for mobile and social play.

Moreover, the game includes a slew of very interesting gameplay features such as multiple single-player modes, immersive battlefields, realistic and interactive terrain, as well as weather and the option to manage multiple troops with real-time micro-control.
