ABOUT THE GAME

Age of Mythology is a 2002 real-time strategy video game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. A spin-off of the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology takes some of its inspiration from mythology and legends of the Greeks, Egyptians, and Norse, rather than from actual historical events. Many gameplay elements are similar to the Age of Empires series, while mythological creatures and supernatural powers move it beyond the realm of realism. Its campaign follows an Atlantean admiral, Arkantos, who is forced to travel through the lands of the game's three cultures, hunting for a cyclops who is in league with Poseidon against Atlantis. Age of Mythology was commercially successful, going platinum four months after its release after selling over one million units. In 2003, it was followed by an expansion pack, Age of Mythology: The Titans. A board game adaptation, titled Age of Mythology: The Boardgame, was released in 2003 by Eagle Games. On May 8, 2014, Age of Mythology: Extended Edition was released for Windows via Steam. This was followed by a second expansion pack, Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon, released on January 28, 2016. On September 4, 2024, a remaster, Age of Mythology: Retold, was released.
