Contrary to what some people might think I do not necessarily hate Victors and Vanquished dlc and do not think it is terrible despite it being the worst dlc besides cosmetic dlc or at the very least just as bad as RoR (which I only gave it a 5.5 out of 10 review on Steam and just barely recommended it). At least it gives you something extra to do once you complete every campaign from basegame plus every other dlc (including even RoR) combined before playing any of these historical battles. At least Victors and Vanquished has lots of achievements to give you something extra to do besides just simply winning them. (Edit) While I would not rule out another campaign only dlc that does not officially add new civilizations entirely I would not expect very many of them in the future and maybe only two or three at most. Depending on how long Forgotten Empires continues to make dlc maybe the next campaign focused dlc will take place two years from now or longer meaning that probably the next dlc (2025?) will not be a campaign dlc.

Enshittification has sadly gripped this game by its gonads, with their latest "DLC" being an insult to any gamer's intelligence. They don't care about producing quality expansions, just mushed up, spat out "content" that they have the cheek to charge a premium price for. I'd love to see another expansion on the same quality as Dawn of the Dukes, but their past few outings have shown a significant downward trend.

In your opinion. Unless you bring facts. I disagree.

I suspect any kind of DLC will not happen until later this year if they do release one. With Age of Mythology Retold being released in a couple of months time. Studio is probably all hands on deck for making sure that comes out in a good state. Pretty sure Forgotten Empires that works on AoE series, is a smaller team. Also from a business sense you don't want to eat into sales of one product with another similar product releasing close together.

The game has over 16K players, right now, on a Thursday afternoon. There is no "declining interest". It is going as strong as ever.

PS: By comparison, AoE4 had over 9k players, little more than half AoE2DE has, on the same day.

How about AoE3:DE ?

AoE3DE is always doing worse than AoE2 and 4. The future of this franchise, I bet, will be AoE2DE and AoMR.

Also AoE3DE does not really compete with AoE2DE like AoE4 does. It is an Early Modern Era game, and that mostly has it's own audience.

It is like Starcraft was not really competing with AoE2 either, since they were both very different games, with different settings and gameplay, despite being in teh same genre.

If we get 1 it will probably happen around October or November but the frist official infos will be out probably only a week before release. I don't think they will stop with DLCs soon. Huge part of the playerbase are mostly or solely single-player gamers who need new content now that microsoft released one dlc after another and the players now except them to happen.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I personally like AoE III: DE more than AoE IV. The same cannot also be said however for AoE: DE being better than AoE IV despite the fact that both games are based on different time periods where AoE IV is similar to AoE II: DE in some ways (but with some obvious differences as well because of Relic Entertainment being involved in making AoE IV) because of an overlapping time period.

I love AoEIII, not so much the DE version since it's a memory hog compared to the original. The card system and age up options are fun. I don't like the extra population for units.

AoE2DE is better than AoE4, by a lot.
