Rulers! We are thrilled to announce the release of Age of Wonders 4! It's time to embark on a journey through a fantastical world filled with magic, monsters, and mythical creatures. Reviews are in! Join us in celebrating the release of a brand new Age of Wonders! The newest installment in the iconic fantasy strategy game series from Triumph Studios is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S.

We can't wait for you to experience the world of Age of Wonders 4 and hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it. In the "Release Dev Journal" our dev team wanted to celebrate the occasion and share their excitement and gratitude with each of you. Thank you and welcome to the world of Age of Wonders 4!



Without further ado, watch the Launch trailer below:


We also collected some of the frequently asked questions (F.A.Q.s) for our players:

Will the game be available on Steam Deck? Yes! Age of Wonders 4 is playable on Steam Deck.

Will the game be playable on GeForce Now? Yes, there will be GFN support at the release :)

Is AoW4 available on GoG? Yes.

I'm a content creator, could I get a review copy? We offer review copies of the game to certain creators: Here

Can I upgrade my standard edition to a premium one? Unfortunately, there is no option to "upgrade" the edition - but you can buy a standalone Expansion pass which is still cheaper than buying separate DLCs.

Will the game support modding? Absolutely! We want to support our modding community and prepared a guide to make this process easier for everyone: Read here

Where can I report a bug? Forum is our main platform for bug reporting: this is the best way to let our developers know that something is wrong. We can also help you with some minor issues on our Discord server.

Will there be Mac/Linux support? At the moment we are not planning to release Age of Wonders 4 on Mac or Linux.

Are there Twitch Drops? Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, there will not be Twitch drops. We hope you will support our wonderful streamers anyway!

Will the game have Crossplay? Crossplay will be available at launch on some of the platforms. We are aiming to enable cross-play for others within a few weeks after release. Please refer to the graph below for information on which platforms will have crossplay enabled with each other.

I got Planetfall as part of a Humble Choice monthly bundle. I totally got into that Game and this one looks pretty good too. Where are all the people talking about Gaming dying. There are so many Gems out there.

Need more info imo but for now it's good to see the game releasing on GOG where you won't have any DRM infecting your game and you can actually own what you are paying for.

Tyvm. Linux support would have been the icing on the cake, but GoG release is really cool.

the new humble choice monthly games just came out today, a bad month really, no real hitters in there.

do you remember what month Planetfall came out? (on humble choice)

I thought with Proton being so advanced now, we don't really need Linux support for stuff to work?

July 2020 was when it came on Humble. As for this month's that Warhammer Chaos Gate plays like Xcom on Steroids. You can even use parts of the environment to destroy enemies. If you are a fan of Warhammer 40K this is nice. As I said before if you like Xcom gameplay mechanics you will absolutely love that Game. I have not watched previews of the rest to weigh in on them but Windjammers 2 looks like a nice Game (Daughter's Machine). What I love about Humble Choice is it reminds me of the Arcade and now that my Daughter is 6 she gets some really interesting Games to play on her PC.

Well It's my Bday and you should be glad. I already have the Game so you are more than welcome to it when I Pay for it.

I never finished Xcom 2 either. There must have been some Game released (Maybe Shadow of War) that took me away from it. I did finish Chimera Squad though.

I could get into Planetfall too... for three games. And then the whole thing went stale pretty fast. But maybe that's me, I had the same thing going on with AoW 3. I explore the factions and build options, and quickly get bored with it.

Regardless I might still try this one, maybe it finally found a way around that issue.
