Any rumors about new DLC?

[Gvr]

Have they announced any future new DLC? I'm very eager to play new factions/campaigns.

The "Rise of Rome" dlc is coming which basically lets you play AoE1 within AoE2 (so aoe1 civs in aoe2 graphics). No you won't play against them if you are using normal aoe2 civs

We have absolutely no new information, not even the basics (which was mentioned above), we know.

But I hope so. AOE I Civs vs AOE II Civs wouldn't make any sense.

The rumour is that there will be a separate (Western) Roman (Empire) faction in the DLC that will be for AoE2. Currently Byzantines represent both factions, but then Byzantines will be exclusively Eastern Roman

There is no rumour. All civs and all campaigns from AoE I will be ported to AoE II in order to we pay from this game 3 times (in 1997, in 2019 and now 2023 like DLC)

From the latest patch notes:

While some of us were preparing for the console release, others started to work on the biggest content update in Age II: DE history. This update will bring the largest number of fixes and changes ever seen in a single update, with a massive number of balance changes, quality of life improvements. and more. We also know you’re eager to hear more about Return to Rome, and will have more news on that in the coming months so stay tuned!

So yeah, info in the coming months.

Okay and? You don't have info, that doesn't mean I don't ;)

Exactly this.

Honestly I'd be fine with this because I like AoE 1 DE but it runs like garbage and fails to capture the original game's art design. The AoE 2 DE version of the engine is actually a lot more suited to both performance and a more authentic looking game so yeah, I can drop 10 bucks on AoE 1 every few years. :D

besides rome thing other was maybe something like the india treatment.

Coming months? They really shouldn't have even said the Return to Rome expansion was in development if they can't tell us anything. That's as useless as that Elder Scrolls 6 trailer from years ago.

Developers really should stop announcing stuff if it doesn't at least come with a bit of info of what it's even about, especially if it will take almost another year before you hear anything else.

They should follow Triumph Studios example. Announced Age of Wonders 4 a few weeks ago with 40 minutes of gameplay footage, explained quite a bit about the game and also mentioned the early May release date.
So that's not a long waiting period either.

Time to break the NDA and show some footage then. I think it's kinda weird that people don't have any idea on what this DLC is and that's really bad for managing expectations. Some expect a DLC with a few AoE 1-inspired civs and a few campaigns, others a full AoE 1 remake.

It's just AoE1, from leaks I've seen. Nothing like "AoE1 inspired" civs. There was a leaked civilization select screen for AoE1 that showed that there was some rebalancing of civ bonuses, alongside team bonuses being added. No unique units or unique technologies in that select screen.

There was also a leaked picture of a Roman-style AoE2 Castle, which some have interpreted to mean the Romans are being added as an AoE2 civ. Alternatively, it's a new Castle for the Byzantines, or maybe just a scenario editor only building. People claiming to have seen it seem to contradict each other on whether or not it is for a new civ or not.

Yeah so basically what I said: mixed thoughts on what it's going to be. Personally I hope it's going to be AoE 1 with a few AoE 2 inspired additions and some new campaigns (with all the existing ones returning of course).
