The Asian Dynasties is the second expansion for the multi-million selling Age of Empires III, and will introduce new gameplay features and rich historical influences from Asia.

Developed by Big Huge Games, the expansion will introduce a number of playable Asian civilizations plus new content and several new gameplay elements. These include new ways of winning and trading, random map styles that feature remixes of classic AoE game styles and 15 Asian Wonders.

We’re honoured to have the opportunity to develop ‘Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties’ with Ensemble Studios and confident that the innovation of both teams will deliver an exciting experience for fans of this franchise,” said Brian Reynolds, chief executive officer and creative director of Big Huge Games.

Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties is scheduled for release under the Games for Windows label in the autumn.
