Today Microsoft and Relic Entertainment released an extensive video showcasing a full multiplayer match of Age of Empires IV.
We get to see a game featuring the Holy Roman Empire against the Rus faction, and it’s a rather interesting one, with plenty of back and forth attacks.
You can check it out below.

Age of Empires IV launches on October 28 exclusively on PC. Here’s how Microsoft officially describes it.
“The king of real-time strategy (RTS) is back! Age of Empires has returned with its first all new title in 16 years, modernizing the RTS genre for new and returning players eager for the return of an RTS gaming phenomenon.
