The game was super jank but I remember it really fondly. I play the GOG version at least once a year. I am really excited to hear this news, but I will keep my expectations in check.

Worst case scenario this will follow the same path as SimCity. They release a new game and people keep playing the original one ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It's really a win-win either way. My guess is it'll be a really pretty game worth playing, which might or might not become the definitive AoM to play long-term. If it's not, I'll pick up the original those couple times a year I need my fix

AoE2 DE and AoE3 DE definitely supplanted their predecessors pretty much entirely. In the case of AoE2, it even managed to unify the two disparate playerbases of those who stuck to the old OG game and used Voobly and those who were playing on the HD Steam release. World's Edge has done an incredible job stewarding the franchise up until now, and with the exception of how terrible Age of Empires Mobile seems like it's going to be, I have every faith in them to continue doing that in the future, including with AoM Retold.
