At the gamescom Opening Night Live 2023 there was no shortage of surprises for RTS fans.

At the show we saw the trailer Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition, a refreshed version of the popular RTS.
Then it was announced that this edition has just been released on Xbox X and Xbox Series X.
This marks the debut of AoE4 on consoles. It came as quite a surprise. We knew that the game was heading to the XSX/S, but until now Microsoft had been silent on when that would happen.
