The critical factor driving this change is that the ESO domain on which this multiplayer service currently resides is no longer under Microsoft’s control and it will be repurposed by its new owners on that date. To continue accessing the multiplayer services: We have created a patch that points to a new backend owned by Microsoft that you must manually install prior to September 1, 2021. Due to the age of the title, we have no way to automatically apply the patch for you and you will have to come to our website download linked below to apply the patch manually. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The AgeIIIESOPatch_Full will allow you to access multiplayer services without routing through the deprecated ESO service. It is important to install the patch for additional stability and reliability in the multiplayer environment and avoid issues accessing multiplayer matches. Download and install the patch manually using the steps below: DOWNLOAD PATCH FILE Installation Steps: Download AgeIIIESOPatch_Full and then run the application. Click Patch Game File in the Age of Empires III Patcher window that opens. Click Open to start the installation in the default Age of Empires 3 folder. If Age of Empires III is not installed in the default location, navigate to the folder where age3.exe is saved. Age of Empires III Patcher will show that the game is patched. When Age of Empires III is opened again, a User Account Control prompt for age3.exe will appear. Click Yes to start the game. Join us for the Age of Empires III: DE Streaming Event!

SUMMARY Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition will release on October 15th 2020 Pre-order the game today to explore familiar frontiers on launch day Available on Steam, Windows 10 PC and Xbox Game Pass for PC (beta) The countdown to the launch of Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition starts today! Tonight, at gamescom: Opening Night Live, our team was excited to reveal the official trailer for Age III: DE, as well as kick off pre-orders for the game as it nears its release on October 15th. It’s been years since we kicked off the idea of bringing back the Age of Empires series in definitive form, and through each game we’ve listened to our fans, learned, and refined our process to make the best possible true “Age” experience of each game that we can. In just a few months, long-time Age fans will be able to complete their collection, and those yet to try Age III: DE will be able to experience this groundbreaking game in the best version possible—continuing our mission of setting the standard of what it means to create “definitive” editions of classic games. What is Age III: DE? In Age III: DE, players can expect 4K graphics, rebuilt 3D assets, a modernized UI, cross-play multiplayer, and fully enhanced soundtrack and audio. In addition to all previously released content, Age III: DE also features two new game modes and two new civilizations exclusive to the Definitive Edition. For game modes, we’ve added a series of Historical Battles set within the time period the game covers, as well as several new fan favorite Art of War challenges—which were added after the overwhelmingly positive community feedback about their appearance in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition! These challenges are specifically tailored to not only teach you the in's and out's of real-time strategy games, but the unique nuances of Age III: DE’s gameplay and meta strategies that have evolved over years of play. When it comes to civilizations, Age of Empires III and its expansions featured 14 civilizations from across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, and we’re adding two brand-new civilizations exclusively to the Definitive Edition: The Swedes and The Incas! THE SWEDES are a brand new addition to the franchise and cover one of history's most unlikely great powers: a small European nation which eclipsed all military convention and became a powerhouse on the European battlefields thanks to their innovative military tactics. THE INCAS are a more traditional Age of Empires civilization, covering one of the largest empires in South America, where they constructed mighty stone cities, citadels and palaces. Whether you're more of a city builder or aiming for military domination, we think all players will have a lot of fun exploring each both civ's unique play styles!

Each team will consist of at least six players: with five players on the main roster and at least one substitute. Players will be drafted in a Live Auction Event, with Team Managers bidding on players using a limited amount of "duck coins." Each team is also granted one "champion"—a player who is theirs for free and basically functions as the team's assistant manager.

Hazza54321 | ESOC Pro Finals WHEN: Thursday, March 5 @ 18:00 GMT (10:00a PT / 1:00p ET) WHERE: twitch.tv/ESOCTV THE EVENT: The time has come! This is the definitive battle between two Age of Empires III legends. This coming Thursday, Mitoe and Hazza54321 will face off in a best-of-nine bout to claim the coveted title of Winter Champion—as well as a cool slice of the $2250 prize pool pie. Here's a recap of their journey to the pro finals: Both Hazza and Mitoe were expected to go far: clocking in as the third- and fourth-strongest players in the pre-tournament Power Rankings, respectively. Hazza knocked out No. 1 ranked Kaiserklein with a convincing 4-2 upset in the semifinals. Mitoe is hot off a 4-0 sweep of Lukas, who beat snowww and the indominable LordRaphael—who is sometimes regarded as the Greatest of All Time. These two powerhouses belong to a newer time; gone (for now) are the days of iamgrunt, H2O, and BlackStar_OP of the World Cyber Games of 2007 and 2008. New competitors now stand on the shoulders of giants. Mitoe made his ESO debut in early 2014 to the tune of Lt. Colonel: a humbling experience for a player who dominated the smaller Macintosh scene for years. He showed he was fit to dominate ESO, too, winning the 2017 Autumn Championship in a 5-2 series over Goongoon, and later, two weekend tournaments. Hazza was a captain in 2016, and in one of the fastest “rags-to-riches” transformations, blew up to become Brigadier in less than two years. Now he's a Major General. Although ranked above Mitoe, Hazza has yet to win a Seasonal Major. He is well poised for his first. Further, these players have a history of tournament meetings, introducing a psychological factor to this encounter. In the 2018 Autumn Championship, Hazza swept Mitoe 4-0, and again over-performed with a 4-1 victory in the ESOC Premier League. Mitoe was able to get his sweet revenge in the 2019 New World Championship qualifiers, vanquishing Hazza 3-2 in the Round of 16.
