The veteran real-time strategy game "Age of Empires 4" developed by Relic Entertainment landed on the PC platform on October 28, 2021, and it has been rumored that this game may launch an Xbox console version.
The source is a Twitter user @ALumia_Italia who found a set of code "XIP_CAR_JANUARY_2022" in the Xbox Insider Hub, according to the previous microsoft code name for the Age of Empires series, of which "CAR" is likely to be short for "CARDINAL", which means that Age of Empires 4 is likely to be announced on xbox in the near future.
Code series used in Age of Empires:
Cardinal Insider
Cardinal Closed Beta-May 21
Cardinal Closed Beta-June 21
Cardinal Closed Beta2-June 21
Cardinal August 2021
Cardinal September 2021
Cardinal October 2021
Although the code appears in the Xbox Insider Hub, it should be noted that it can also be used on the PC side, and please wait for the official exact news to be announced. Adam Isgreen, creative director of Age of Empires 4, has said that the team will consider launching a console version, and Relic's parent company Sega is getting closer to Microsoft (Sega announced a principle agreement with Microsoft last November to develop a "super masterpiece"), maybe the Age of Empires 4 console is really close.
