The Age of Empires 4 gameplay trailer can be viewed at the bottom of this article. The game is being created by World’s Edge, a new studio created specifically for the Age of Empires franchise. The Age of Empires 4 gameplay trailer revealed by World’s Edge and Microsoft at X019 shows off the game’s medieval setting and it looks fantastic, but the developer was quick to explain this is pre-alpha footage.
