And oh, there's a new advanced AI as well that doesn't need to cheat to compete with humans. All put together, Microsoft promises over 200 hours of gameplay across a thousand years of human history. Plus, there's more content with a new campaign called “The Last Khans” featuring the four new civilisations in Bulgarians, Cumans, Lithuanians, and Tatars. In terms of content, you get everything - including all four expansions - from the original game and the HD Edition with Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. How revolutionary is that? Speaking of modern inclusions, it's also getting a spectator mode and native streaming support. And for the first time, you can zoom in and out without having to play around with the resolution. Since it now supports 4K resolution, that means much better graphics, with improved visuals for troops and buildings, literally from the ground up in the latter case.

Fittingly, it's called Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. As part of its twentieth anniversary celebrations, Microsoft is releasing a new definitive 4K remaster of Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings this week.
