Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition Patch Adds Co-op Mode

A new update for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition has been released. The biggest highlight of the patch is the addition of a co-op mode.

How co-op works in AoE3: DE

1. Co-op enables two players to play together.
2. Co-op is available for historical battles.
3. In the case of historical battles from DLCs, it is sufficient that one player in the group owns the DLC in question for the rest of the co-op participants to be able to take part in the game.
4. The AI in each battle has been appropriately modified so that it can engage in effective combat against two human opponents.
