Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is the latest game that has finally caught up with the Battle Royale craze.<\/p>\n

In its recent Anniversary Update celebrating one year since launch, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition received its very own free-for-all, Battle Royale mode.<\/p>\n

Fast-paced at its core and taking place of five new custom maps, it pits up to eight players against each other, in a race for resources and against time.<\/p>\n

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition’s Battle Royale mode starts with everyone on an equal footing. Players initially have access to just two hero units which they can use to scout the map.<\/p>\n

Exploration leads to discovering supply and military buildings. Where the former increases the constant rate at which players gain resources, the latter allows them to field more troops.<\/p>\n

Resource buildings can change hands if enemies destroy your defenses and get close to them, hampering your efforts of recruiting massive armies.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the playable area constantly shrinks, applying constant pressure, and eventually removing these supply buildings from play.<\/p>\n

Like its counterparts, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition’s Battle Royale mode ties victory to being the last player standing.<\/p>\n

Its Anniversary Update also introduced an unranked Quick Play queue that makes joining games easier than it ever was. It’s also easier to invite friends to your party.<\/p>\n

The game’s main menu UI has gone through a complete overhaul with the purpose of simplifying navigation. <\/p>\n

Lastly, the Civ Selection UI also features more information about your pick, while loading screens will now show different tips and hints. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is now available on PC.<\/p>\n
