Relic is focused on building a better version of Age of Empires II, as the title received a HD remake in recent years that has been highly touted by the community. Microsoft tasked the team at Relic Entertainment, the development team behind the Company of Heroes franchise, to rekindle what made the first two Age of Empires games so great. While the third release left a lot to be desired, it has been many years since that release. PC gamers rejoiced when Xbox Game Studios announced that Age of Empires would be returning with Age of Empires IV.
