The Three Kingdoms DLC Arrives for Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition on Xbox

On Thursday, Xbox Game Studios and World’s Edge unveiled the latest DLC for Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. Named The Three Kingdoms, this exciting expansion dives deep into the dynamic era of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China.

This DLC introduces players to five new civilizations: the Shu, Wei, Wu, Jurchens, and Khitans. Gamers can look forward to fresh units joining the ranks, including Fire Lancers, Rocket Carts, and Dragon Ships. Each faction boasts its unique warriors, such as the Wei Tiger Cavalry and the Jurchens Grenadier, adding diverse strategic options to the gameplay.

The Three Kingdoms isn’t just about new factions and units. Developed with the expertise of the seasoned team at Forgotten Empires, the DLC brings three comprehensive campaigns to the table. These campaigns weave together a rich narrative split across 15 missions, focusing on the tales of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and the Sun Clan.

Mark your calendars for May 6, 2025, when The Three Kingdoms DLC will be available on Xbox consoles and Windows PC. Priced at $20, there’s an appealing preorder discount for the early birds out there.

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is also making its way to PlayStation 5, highlighting a growing trend of Xbox titles finding a home on other consoles. The PS5 version is set for release on the same day as The Three Kingdoms DLC. If you’re picking up the Premium Edition, which bundles all previous DLC, you can start your conquest on May 1, 2025.

With the addition of new civilizations and campaigns, Age of Empires 2 promises to become even more engaging. The simultaneous release on PS5 should spark a new wave of enthusiasm and hopefully bring a fresh batch of players to the game.
