Microsoft teams up with the world’s biggest developer to bring Age of Empires to mobile

In fact, it took Microsoft almost two years to start talking about Age of Empire Mobile. In a detailed blog post which covers a number of Age of Empires and Age of Mythology titles, Microsoft has revealed a new partnership with Chinese developer TiMi Studio Group to bring Age of Empires to mobile.

One of the world's largest video game operators and developers by revenue, TiMi is the studio behind iconic franchises on PC, mobile and Nintendo Switch, including Honor of Kings, Arena of Valor, Call of Duty : Mobile, Speed ​​Drifters and Pokemon. Unite.

Currently, TiMi Studio Group is working on an undisclosed Monster Hunter game for mobile devices, but this should not affect its new partnership with Microsoft as the company includes several development divisions with different areas of expertise.

According to Microsoft, the upcoming Age of Empires Mobile game will feature elements of the popular strategy franchise we know and love, fused with new mobile-specific gameplay.

Age of Empires Mobile's first gameplay trailer and behind-the-scenes look with the TiMi Studio Group team have been released along with the blog post announcing the partnership.

Microsoft and TiMi Studio Group plan to launch Age of Empires Mobile by the end of the year. Fans of the series can already pre-register for Age of Empires Mobile on iOS and Google Play via the game's official website.
