Age of Empires: Definitive Edition won’t be launching later this week, as a last minute decision to delay the game has been made.
“When we set out to re-release the original Age of Empires (as ‘Age of Empires: Definitive Edition’), we had many debates over the extent of restoration that we should undertake,” a blog post discussing the delay reads.
“The challenge of re-releasing a classic is just that: it’s a classic and it deserves to be treated with careful reverence.
A new release date for the game was not offered, but the team is aiming to have it ready by early 2018.
