In 1997, the real-time strategy genre was still finding its foothold in PC gaming. The early ‘90s gave rise to games like Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty and the first two entries in the Warcraft and Command and Conquer series, but it still had plenty of room to grow. When Ensemble Studios released Age of Empires in the latter half of the decade, it hoped to accomplish something that intertwined the best of the turn-based strategy game Civilization and the staples of real-time strategy.

Age of Empires went on to earn praise and success, eventually leading to expansions and sequels. On Feb. 20, 2018, Microsoft Studios paid tribute to Ensemble’s game-changing Age of Empires with the Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. A re-release of the original Age of Empires, the Definitive Edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of the game’s United Kingdom release with improved visuals and remastered audio. Along with improved visuals and audios, the Definitive Edition also features a completely new user-interface.

With regard to content, the game will feature:

  • Newly recorded narration
  • Single player and multiplayer modes
  • Classic mode that plays as originally designed
  • All Rise of Rome expansion content
  • A full list of achievements

A day prior to the game’s release, a news post on the official website claimed that there would be future updates to the game that would further enhance graphics optimization, add a spectator mode to multiplayer matches, and fix bugs that came up during the prior beta test.

According to the official website, the minimum system requirements to run Age of Empires: Definitive Edition are as follows:

  • OS: Windows 10 version 14393.0 or higher required
  • Architecture: X64 required
  • Processor: 1.8 Ghz+ Dual Core or greater i3, i5, or i7, or AMD equivalent
  • Graphics: Intel HD 4000 or Greater (16 or more Execution Units), AMD or nVidia GPU scoring 500 or more on Passmark G3D Mark
  • Memory: 4GB
  • Storage: 17-20GB

The release of the Definitive Edition is a fine means of holding fans over as they wait for the release of Age of Empires IV.

The Trump Administration Just Canceled Major Funding For Alzheimer's Research Due To 'DEI'—And People Are Beyond Furious

Back in March 2025, it was revealed that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had slashed funding for Alzheimer’s research as part of their purge of all things diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) related.

It was also later revealed that most of the cuts were done by Elon Musk's untrained, unqualified Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel—who couldn't define or describe diversity, equity, or inclusion even after making $16.5 billion of initially listed cuts across 1,127 cancelled or adjusted federal contracts because of "DEI"—using AI filters.

A Democrat's T-Shirt Is Going Viral For Epically Calling Out Trump's Desire To Seek A 3rd Term

President Donald Trump has long made clear his desire to seek a third term in office, and now a woman has gone viral for the T-shirt she wore while in the checkout line that mocks the president and this annoying timeline we're all in.

Trump has repeatedly floated the possibility of seeking a third presidential term, despite the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two elected terms. In March 2025, he told NBC News he was “not joking” about the idea and suggested there were potential “methods” for doing so.

Video Of McDonald's Worker Dropping Food On Floor Before Putting It Back On Tray Sparks Food Safety Debate

We've all heard of the "five-second rule," where when you drop a piece of food on a safe surface, you can still eat it if you've picked it back up within five seconds. Most people won't bat an eye at this when they're at home or with friends, again, if the food is dropped in a safe and clean location, like on a kitchen counter while making a plate.

But a floor really should never be included among the safe and clean surface options, especially when that floor is in a public space, and the five-second rule shouldn't even exist in food service spaces.
