Age of Empires 4 To Get Two New Civilizations This October, Currently Free To Play This Week

The RTS game Age of Empires 4 will be getting two new civilizations – the Ottoman and Malian civilizations. They are coming on October 25 in part of the anniversary update entirely for free. 

The game launched with eight playable civilizations, all with their own set of exclusive units and playstyles, and with the upcoming Ottoman and Malian civilizations, expect a similar treatment. 

The West Africa Malians are an interesting choice as they are considered one of the richest trading nations of all time, so it will be interesting how they will implement their way of growing their economy in-game. On the other hand we have the mighty Ottomans, one of the long-lasting empires in history known for their ruthless military. 

Content creators named Age Insiders will get a chance to get hands-on experience with the new civilizations as well as other planned changes and content in the Anniversary Update. 

To celebrate the announcement of the Anniversary Update, Age of Emipres 4 is currently free to play from today up until August 29. The game is also 50% off in the Steam and Microsoft store. It is also available through PC Game Pass, a video game service that has expanded its services to Southeast Asia recently.
