Extract from the official press release:
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition comes with razor-sharp 4K visuals, a fully remastered soundtrack, and includes three expansions with the base game: Lords of the West, Dynasties of IndiaAnd Dawn of the Dukes. Newcomers to the series and veterans alike can expect all the fast-paced base-building and warfare that made this game a classic, given new life over two decades of refinement and additional content.
Empire builders hungry for more will also have access to a vast – and ever-expanding – range of DLC purchasable from day one. Players can explore a wide range of content, Return from Romewhich transplants the original The era of empires experience in the modern engine, for The last leaders — exploring the complex medieval societies of South America – just released!
Another notable Mac game that arrived recently was Crimson Desert, which launched on macOS on the same day as other platforms, a rare feat.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition follows the most typical release pattern for Mac titles, with the macOS version arriving much later than the PC and console launches.
