Developed by World's Edge and Forgotten Empires, and published by Xbox Game Studios, the game was first announced on October 25, 2022.

The experience includes legendary creatures, god-like powers, and a 50-mission campaign that immerses players in various mythical worlds.
Utilizing the technology from the Definitive Edition's Bang Engine, the remaster enhances the original by updating all units and animations, introducing a symphonic soundtrack, increasing the population limit, and adding ray tracing capabilities. Players will also benefit from features such as the Scenario Editor, Villager Priority, and distinct visuals for upgraded myth units, all designed to keep them engaged and strategically invested.
The central narrative revolves around a cosmic conflict, where ancient mythologies from different cultures vie for dominance. Players' decisions and actions will influence the outcome of this epic struggle, adding depth to the gameplay experience.
