Thursday 28th May, 2026: Feral Interactive and World’s Edge have today announced that Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is now available for macOS, bringing one of the most popular real-time strategy games on Windows to Mac gamers for the first time.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is an invitation to lead a broad range of civilizations, from marauding Huns to fiery Celts, as they carve their paths through a thousand years of history. Players grow their settlements from Dark Age hamlets to imposing citadels by balancing resource gathering with military spending to defend what is already theirs and to conquer what is not. Each single-player campaign is packed with historical flavour, featuring famous leaders from Kings to Khans, and incorporating the technologies and weaponry of each era.
The fast-paced Skirmish mode pits players against up to eight opponents, either offline versus the AI, or online against other Mac gamers. Online multiplayer also offers cooperative campaigns featuring historical scenarios and objectives to tackle together as allies. As the latest iteration of this storied game, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition arrives on macOS as an Apple Silicon-native version, with the benefit of more than two decades of refinements. These include 4K visuals, a remastered soundtrack, new animations, and numerous quality-of-life improvements.
The base game also includes three expansions — “Lords of the West,” “Dynasties of India,” and “Dawn of the Dukes” — each introducing new campaigns and civilizations. A huge range of purchasable DLC is also available, including the recently released “The Last Chieftains”, in which medieval history and folklore contend in campaigns across the varied terrains of South America. A full guide for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is available on the Feral Blog, and a trailer for the macOS release is viewable here. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is now available for macOS via Steam and the Feral Store, priced at $34.99 / £25.99 / €32,99, with all DLC also available on each store.
