Three New Major Gods

Quetzalcoatl

Tezcatlipoca

Huitzilopochtli

Quetzalcoatl, known as the Feathered Serpent, is the god of wind, wisdom, learning, and creation. Quetzalcoatl played an important role in the creation of humans and was seen as a protector of civilization and culture. He is connected to the planet Venus and often depicted as a serpent with feathers, symbolizing the link between earth and sky.

Tezcatlipoca is a powerful and multifaceted deity associated with night, sorcery, the sky, and destiny. His name, translated as ‘Smoking Mirror’, reflects his link to obsidian, often used for mirrors and sacred rituals. Tezcatlipoca played a central role in the cycles of creation and destruction, often stood in opposition to Quetzalcoatl. One could say their rivalry shaped the world. Mysterious and unpredictable, Tezcatlipoca inspired both fear and reverence among his followers.

Huitzilopochtli is revered as a god of the sun and war, and the divine figure of his people. Unlike many Mesoamerican gods who were shared across the regions, he was uniquely and definitively Aztec. His name means “Hummingbird of the South” and he was believed to have guided his people to the site where they founded Tenochtitlán. According to myth, he defeated his sister Coyolxauhqui and cast her from a sacred mountain, a story later reflected in ritual sacrifice. As the sun god, Huitzilopochtli depended on human offerings to sustain his power and ensure the sun’s victory over darkness, symbolizing both Aztec military strength and cultural identity.

An All-New Campaign!

Gods will clash, alliances will fracture, and the fate of the Aztec people will be decided by blood, belief, and power.

The all-new 12-mission campaign tells an epic story of divine conflict and survival. When the eternal rivalry between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca destroys the utopian city of Aztlan, Huitzilopochtli seizes the moment to lead his people south in search of a new empire. Meanwhile, Tezcatlipoca escapes through his Obsidian Mirror, crossing continents to recruit legendary allies and reclaim his dominance.

Obsidian Mirror is a dramatic evolution of Age of Mythology: Retold. For fans who have waited years to see the Aztecs rise, and for strategy players drawn to bold mythic themes and inventive mechanics, this expansion delivers a fierce new vision of divine warfare.
