Calling all strategy and fantasy game enthusiasts! Paradox Interactive, the masterminds behind some of the most iconic strategy games, have released the highly-anticipated Age of Wonders 4. Developed by Triumph Studios, this game invites players to rule a fantasy realm of their own design, combining strategy, role-playing, and turn-based combat. And the best part? It’s available to play now on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X and S.
Age of Wonders 4 allows you to craft your followers by combining bodily forms, societal traits, and arcane powers, making it possible to build anything from a clan of cannibal halflings to mystic moon elves. Seek powerful tomes of magic to enchant your armies, gain new abilities, and physically transform your people into angelic beings or scions of chaos to face your enemies. And for the first time in the series, you can create your own custom factions, leaving your mark on countless worlds through every choice you make.
The game also features deep, multilayered strategy and tactical turn-based battles that bring your armies to life, from skirmishes with roaming monsters to vast sieges with many units on each side. Every choice opens up new possibilities and tactical advantages, allowing you to try new tactics or explore new powers at every turn. You can seek glory through brutal domination, cunning alliances, or ultimate arcane knowledge, and your own creations may even appear as potential rivals or allies in subsequent games, as you experience the next chapter in your own story!
The game’s world is vast, reactive, and endlessly replayable, with a tremendous variety of empires, units, and environments. You can explore a new realm in each session, or create your own, challenging new variations and combinations of locations and features. Age of Wonders 4 is more open-ended and mod-friendly than ever before in the series’ history, making it possible for players to make their mark on the game’s world.
