Creative director Adam Isgreen shared some teasers about AoE4, saying that they are working on modernizing the game but not making it overly complicated. AoE4 will showcase historical content with challenging real-time strategy game plays, by not limiting the game to one single era. Another thing that players will no longer see in AoE4 will be the microtransactions.
