Age of Empires III expands this autumn

Fans of Microsoft and Ensemble Studios' RTS are in luck, as an expansion will be released later in the year.

Details on the expansion are few and far between, but the currently untitled add-on will include new Native American civilisations, new content for existing European civilisations, new maps and a new single-player campaign.

Age of Empires III didn't really break any new ground on its release late last year, but it was still a very competent RTS. No firm release date has been set, but you can expect the expansion to hit retail stores in the autumn.
