Touched-up Rise of Nations to be sold on Steam from next month

A classic RTS game is to return with an upgraded look and enhanced features next month. Set to be sold on Steam by new owners Skybox Labs, the new Rise of Nations hopes to capture the elements that made it originally a well-received game while providing a smooth updated feel.

 

Originally developed by Big Huge Games, Rise of Nations combined two of the other best-selling strategy games – Civilization and Age of Empires – into a game that made use of some of the best parts of each back in 2003. Big Huge Games was eventually acquired by 38 Studios and along with other properties, Rise of Nations was snapped up at auction by Skybox after 38 Studios went into liquidation. Skybox have also touched up other classic property Age of Mythology, so they’re not new to the game of enhancing older games.

 

The new Rise of Nations Enhanced Edition will include both the base game and the Thrones & Patriots expansion, and comes with upgraded graphics, fixes to allow the game to run better with newer hardware as well as Steamworks and Twitch integration to allow for easy multiplayer connection and streaming respectively. It’s also available with a 20 percent discount if pre-ordered.
