Age of Empires: Mobile has unveiled its launch roadmap, with a planned release set for the fourth quarter of 2024, which falls from October to December 2024. The real-time strategy title was announced on mobile after the Chinese adaptation of the game, Return to Empire, was released by Tencent in 2022. So let us look in detail at what are the plans the developer hints at.
Age of Empires: Mobile Launch Roadmap details
Starting in February 2024, the game will debut and the pre-registrations will be opened, which is completed. So you can go ahead and pre-register for the game. This is followed by the first round of beta testing for the game and then by a second round of beta testing in which additional gameplay mechanisms will be introduced. Finally, the official launch of the game is scheduled to take place.
Here’s a detailed overview of the launch plans.
| Phase | Period | Details |
|---|---|---|
| AoE Mobile Debut | February 2024 | Release of gameplay trailer and developer diary providing insights into the game’s creation process. |
| Global Pre-registration | February 2024 | Worldwide opportunity for players to pre-register and get notified about updates. |
| First-round Beta Test | April – May 2024 | First round of closed beta testing phase to evaluate the game’s features and mechanics. |
| Second-round Beta Test | May – August 2024 | Follow-up testing phase introducing additional gameplay elements and expanding the presence of Governors from various regions. |
| Official Launch | Q4 2024 | The official release of the game to the public, marks the end of the development process. |
As mentioned by the developer, the provided timeline remains subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, players are asked to refer to the latest announcements. The global release mentioned is Q4 2024, although Age of Empires: Mobile was initially slated for release in 2023, and has undergone delays.
While it now has a launch date of August 19, 2024, according to its App Store listing, the Q4 of 2024 starts from October. So this does not align with the roadmap plans. Anyway, I suggest you stay tuned for updates and keep an eye on Google Play or App Store pages.
