Here we are, finally here with a content-rich package absolutely rammed full of campaigns, co-op modes, online multiplayer and all the DLC packs on offer.

Since the Series X|S consoles launched back in 2020, I have always been shouting from the sidelines that the franchise would easily be welcomed by millions in the console space and this generation was ready to handle it. It was a wave of emotions for me in 2022 when it was announced that we would see Age Of Empires II Definitive Edition coming to the Xbox family of consoles as well as Xbox Game Pass. It had its limitations though back in 2001 and no casual gaming box under the TV could really compete with hardcore PC rigs. This is where my love for real-time strategy blossomed and I was ecstatic when it launched for the very first time on consoles on the PlayStation 2. I couldn’t afford an all-bells-and-whistles gaming PC but was absolutely besotted with it after playing on a friend’s computer at the time. I grew up with great admiration for Age Of Empires II and I remember being 14 years of age when it very first launched.
