Over an hour and a half of leaked gameplay footage from the long-awaited Age of Empires IV from Microsoft shows off some of the familiar interfaces and new graphics.

Posted to Vimeo, the Portuguese version of the game follows the Chinese dynasty as it grows from a small settlement to a large and powerful civilization. Over the course of the video, the player befriends the yellow team, their closest neighbor, and goes to war with the red team to the south. They advance through several ages, upgrading buildings and units along the way until finally achieving victory.

At first, the villagers are shown gathering familiar game resources, like food from sheep and berries, wood from trees and minerals from rocky outcroppings. They also build resource gathering points such as mills, mines and lumber camps to help collect those resources further away from the Town Center. All the while, explorers reveal the game map all around the start point, finding more resources, other civilizations, and a “holy place” marked with a flag atop ruins. The trademark vocal and sound queues from the previous incarnations of the game are present, with the promised upgrade of more specific dialects of the chosen civilization. There is period and site-appropriate music as well.

Trade routes begin to appear as the other teams advance and the whole map takes shape. The player begins building military buildings, using multiple villagers to get them up and running quickly. New animations there show greater detail as a monastery is raised from the ground up and the resource-gathering areas grow. Another familiar feature occurs when an “Under Attack” notification appears and the real-time strategy aspect of the game kicks into high gear.

As the player advances to the Feudal age, walls begin appearing around each of the teams’ buildings. The red team begins raiding the player’s settlements and smaller groups of military units. The player responds in kind with their own large army. Again, the updated graphics, sound effects and music are all put on display to create a dramatic encounter.

The player continues growing their army and mounts their own attack against the red team’s walls, showing off more impressive battles, destruction of those carefully constructed buildings with their own detailed animations and support units such as monks coming to the aid of beleaguered fighters. The yellow team comes under fire from the red, the player defends the ally, and the red team’s walls are breached leading to wanton destruction and death.

Originally announced in 2017 and still without an official release date, Age of Empires IV ran into some development issues during the COVID-19 outbreak last year. The third installment was originally released in 2005 and there have been over a dozen expansions and spinoffs since then.
