While I was expecting big announcements to be next week at the Paradox showcase, we’ve had news drop about Age of Wonders 4.
Developer and publisher of triumphant games, today revealed details about upcoming content for Age of Wonders 4, the newest instalment in the iconic fantasy strategy game series from Triumph Studios.
Age of Wonders 4, which will launch on May 2, 2023 for PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X and S, is available in a Premium Edition on all platforms, including additional in-game cosmetic options and the game’s Expansion Pass, providing players with two upcoming content packs and two upcoming full expansions at a bundled discount.
A new story trailer, showing the return of the terrifying Wizard Kings, was released today to set the stage for the game’s upcoming launch. Pre-orders for both editions are available starting today on all platforms from the game’s website:
