Of Ensemble Studio’s oeuvre of real-time strategy games, Age of Mythology often gets overlooked. The 2002 title was dismissed in its day for just being “Age of Empires in Ancient Greece”, but the gameplay mechanics involving the Greek pantheon and mythological creatures added enough of a twist to give the game its own feel. Now, 12 years after its release, it’s getting a new official downloadable content pack, Tale of the Dragon, on the 28th January 2016.
Not much is known about the expansion, save it’ll be incorporating Chinese mythology. While it’ll undoubtedly be adding Asian units, gods and probably a new campaign storyline, it’s unknown whether it’ll be just a new faction or a total conversion of the game from Greek to Chinese culture.
A remastered version of Age of Mythology was released on Steam back in 2014, including all of the DLC from the Titans expansion, which added the Atlantean mythology to the game.
