Age of Mythology: Retold, from that legendary publisher of video games, Xbox Games Studios, is coming to PS5 on 4th March. The seminal strategy game was initially developed by Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires series, Halo Wars) and released back in 2002. World's Edge and Forgotten Empires revived it in remastered form in 2020.

A classic real-time strategy game, Age of Mythology combines the series' usual town-building, resource management, and tactical combat encounters with a fantastical edge. Players can command one of four factions, each with its distinct playstyle and strategy. In a fun twist, you can employ the various myths and legends from their respective cultures: the Greeks, Egyptians, Norse, and Atlanteans. Retold doesn't include the Tale of the Dragon expansion, which introduced the Chinese pantheon; that's coming as post-launch content.

Pre-orders are now live on the PS Store, and if you're willing to shell out extra, you can get five days of Early Access, in addition to various other extras like expansion access and digital cosmetics.
