Age of Empires IV is teasing new DLC content for 2025. World's Edge, one of the co-developers of the game, made this announcement on October 28, 2024, as part of the celebration of the game's third anniversary. While specific details about the DLC haven't been revealed yet, it's expected to be a major content update.
This upcoming DLC will be the first significant addition to the game since "The Sultan's Ascend" expansion, which was released on November 14, 2023. Throughout 2024, the game has primarily received balance updates and temporary seasonal events, so this new DLC is highly anticipated by the community.
The announcement was made via the official Age of Empires Twitter account, where they thanked the community for their support and teased the excitement for what's to come in 2025. While we don't have concrete information about what the DLC will include, it's likely to follow the pattern of previous expansions, potentially introducing new civilizations, campaigns, or gameplay features.
Age of Empires IV is currently available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, and can be played through Xbox Game Pass. As we approach 2025, we can expect more details about this new DLC to be revealed by World's Edge or Xbox Game Studios.
