They've been working with/on AoE4 for years, this is not news.

They probably were sent there by MS, because AoE4 was supposed to replace AoE2, yet it has about half the playerbase.
So that game is getting 2 DLCs this year, likely just variant civs too, completely destroying the much celebrated asymmetry it had, and allowing MS to milk AoE4 for as much as it can.

Let's hope they don't half-ass it like V&V or RoR.

Its already Confirmed Crusaders will be the next faction, with House of Tudor, War of The Roses as English Variant. and possible one more civ we dont know too much details yet

also the next one after is supposed to be a big one mentioned by content creators, which could include 2 or more civs, spanish , vikings , incas/ aztecs, we dont know the details yet.

Yes but forgotten empires if you check the link they actually respond to people in the aoe4 community, so after aoe3 dlcs gets cancel which is very likely reason of 2 dlcs for aoe4, they just cant handle too much work

since they had to make aoe2 dlc, aom dlc, and aoe4 x 2 dlcs, thats why they abandon aoe3 dlcs plans, its too much work

I already guess this as part of the reason. DLC was part of the actual promised and sold version for AoM. They had to do it. AoE2 is the most popular and AoE4 is the new one. AoE3 is the odd one out with lower player base.

It's a small team with 90 people. When you're not making whole new games but DLC it's reasonably though stretched across 4 games is a bit much. With support for 3 gone that's 30 people per game now, that's if things are somewhat evenly divided.

Meanwhile, AoE1 is the old man who is yelling for those dang kids to get off his lawn.

Lol Aoe 3 DE never had active Devs. They never even bothered listening to player feedback on any forum. Aoe3 suffered massively from DEVS being mia the entirety of it. For 2 years the ottomans have needed a nerf. Instead all we got was 0 balancing from player feedback and a false dlc promise. Great Devs. Ranked Treaty has also been broken since RELEASE. Choosing T1 gives you the win whether you win or loose lmao.

We dont need dlc's. We need a lot of balancing and bugfixing !

That balancing and bugfixing doesn't always happen for free. The DLC can help pay for that.
