In an interview with foreign media Multiplayer.it, Adam Isgreen, creative director of Edge of the World, the internal team of Microsoft responsible for the Age of Empires series, said that once the PC version of Age of Empires 4 is completed, they will turn their energy to the console and explore the possibility of landing Age of Empires 4 on Xbox.
Isgreen said: "Once we finished the release operation of the Age of Empires 4 PC, we started to think about how to make it work on the console. We don't have any detailed plans yet, but we're really thinking about it now. ”
Bringing an RTS game to a console operated by a gamepad is obviously very painful, and the quick input required for competitive gameplay, a lot of hotkeys and shortcuts, complex prompts, etc. can make the Xbox controller seem too limited.
Age of Empires 4 currently lands on PC and PC Xbox Game Pass, with a peak of 73,928 online on Steam and 32,136 online.
