Mac Gaming News - MacSoft to Publish Age of Empires III in September

by , 4:50 PM EDT, August 9th, 2006

MacSoft on Wednesday announced that it will publish the best-selling Windows game Age of Empires III for Mac OS X. Shipping at the end of September, the game will be a Universal Binary that runs on PowerPC- or Intel-based Macs.

The latest installment in the popular series of real-time strategy games lets players choose one of eight European powers and then explore, colonize and conquer the New World. They grow their empire's economy and military as they forge alliances with American Indian tribes. New features in Age of Empires III include 3D graphics, a destructible environment, home cities, and more.

Pricing and system requirements are not yet available. A product page had also not been posted yet on MacSoft's Web site as The Mac Observer published this article.

I expected them to release this news. Age of Empires III is just such a big and popular game that it would be madness not to publish it for the Mac. I had predicted a one year delay, but ten months is even better.
