Age of Mythology: Retold - PS5

Age of Mythology: Retold, the stunning reimagining of the beloved 2002 real-time strategy classic, is now available on PlayStation 5. Released on March 4, 2025, alongside the "Immortal Pillars" expansion, this Xbox Game Studios title brings its divine battles and mythological warfare to Sony's console with enhanced features and cross-platform multiplayer.

Command Gods and Monsters in Epic Warfare

Step into a world where gods walk among mortals and legendary creatures roam the battlefield. Age of Mythology: Retold lets you harness the power of iconic deities like Zeus, Poseidon, Thor, Odin, and Ra as you build civilizations, command armies, and unleash devastating god powers across beautifully rendered landscapes.

The game features four distinct factions, each with unique units, buildings, and mythological beings. Send centaurs charging alongside human soldiers, command trolls to crush enemy fortifications, or unleash mummies upon unsuspecting foes. With the included Immortal Pillars expansion, you'll also gain access to the new Chinese pantheon with legendary creatures like the winged tiger, the chaotic Hundun, and the ravenous Taotie.
