Thursday 30th April, 2026: Feral Interactive and World’s Edge are delighted to reveal that Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition will release on macOS via Steam on May 28th. Today’s announcement confirms the arrival of one of the most beloved strategy games ever on modern Macs.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition brings an enduringly popular real-time strategy experience to Mac gamers, with the benefit of more than two decades of refinements and additional content — including three expansions that come with the base game: “Lords of the West,” “Dynasties of India,” and “Dawn of the Dukes”. Now rendered in razor-sharp 4K, with a fully remastered soundtrack, new animations and numerous quality-of-life improvements, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition will captivate newcomers and returning veterans alike.Players will lead diverse civilisations — from the longbow-wielding Britons to the Chinese masters of gunpowder — growing Dark Age hamlets into thriving citadels, assembling armies and vanquishing rivals. They will battle across unique single-player campaigns, each packed with historical flavour, and sharpen their skills in hugely customisable skirmishes. Online multiplayer with other macOS players offers cooperative campaigns and fast-paced, competitive matches.
A complete stable of purchasable DLC will also be available at launch offering a wealth of new campaigns and civilisations, including the newly released The Last Chieftains, where history and folklore combine to create epic campaigns in medieval South America.
A trailer revealed alongside Today’s announcement is viewable here.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition arrives on Steam for macOS on May 28th. A Mac App Store release will follow later in the year.
