The closed testing of rating matches in Age of Empires 4 will start on December 20

Last November, the developers of the large-scale Age of Empires 4 strategy released a game development plan. The developers continue to follow the plan - a new patch will be released in January and closed testing of rating matches will begin. 

January patch

• At the request of players, the characteristics of Mongolian civilization will be reviewed.
• Fire spears from Chinese civilization turned out to be too strong a unit - they will change the balance
• The changes will also affect the Delhi Sultanate. Correct errors related to special mechanics of the faction.
• Minor balance fixes and bug fixes.

Closed testing of rating matches

In the spring  Age of Empires IV  will introduce structured rating seasons with face-to-face battles. But first the mechanics need to be tested. The tests will take place from January 20 to 28.

To apply, you must log in to your account Age Insider  and fill in the questionnaire. If you get on the lucky list, you will be notified by email.
