Age of Mythology: Retold was recently announced and will launch before long, coming out on September 4. A remade version of a classic RTS, the new version looks to be a fairly definitive take on the 2002 original, packing in expansions and updating the aesthetics of a game that stands alongside its original creator’s Age of Empires series, Civilization 6, Company of Heroes 2, XCOM 2, and Crusader Kings 3 as one of the best entries to the strategy genre ever made. Now, good news has come for those looking forward to the remaster’s quickly approaching launch as the updated Age of Mythology will be available to try out through a closed beta starting this Friday.
