Age of Mythology Retold Expands Further in 2026

Legends have expanded, heroes have risen and fallen, and you’ve taken on new challenges in 2025 in Age of Mythology: Retold. We’ve loved seeing your passion for the game and your creativity in mod creation, photo mode and more.

With the launch of Heavenly Spear in September, we reached the end of the promised offering outlined for our Premium Edition. We knew this left many of you wondering what would be next for the game and we’re excited to reveal what you’ll be able to get your hands on in 2026.

You’ll be able to own four new mythic releases, with the Expansion Pass content, culminating in the release of the game’s most ambitious expansion, featuring the massively requested Aztec pantheon!

  1. New Gods Pack: Demeter – Become a Force of Nature  Command the power of the harvest goddess herself. Unleash new god powers and myth units that reshape the battlefield and bend the will of nature to your strategy.
  1. Obsidian Mirror – Rise of the Aztec Gods  The centerpiece of the Expansion Pass. One of the most requested pantheons in franchise history finally ascends.  Enter the world of the Aztec gods in a sweeping 12-mission campaign that spans continents and celestial realms. Wield divine monsters, call upon gods like Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl, and lead your civilization through an era of obsidian fire and sacrifice. This is more than an add-on - it’s a full-scale expansion introducing an entirely new culture, pantheon, and divine playstyle.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is Heading to South America in February 2026

We are thrilled to announce the next expansion for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition – The Last Chieftains! Launching in February 2026, this exciting new chapter dives into medieval South America, where history and folklore combine to present an epic narrative, dramatic conflict, and our newest exploration of the ancient world!

The Last Chieftains introduces three new civilizations, all of them for play in Ranked, and each with their own unique units, and technologies. As well as a new shared architecture for the Mapuche, Muisca, and the Tupi! Challenge your friends in Skirmish matches or battle your way across South America with three new Campaigns, commanding the forces of folk heroes such as Lautaro, Pacanchique, and Arariboia. These Campaigns feature memorable moments and characters like the berserker Galvarino, or Nicolas Durand the swashbuckling adventurer. The Muisca campaign can even be played from two unique perspectives, depending on whether you decide to serve the noble Nemequene or the greedy Quemuenchatocha.
