Unleash Centaurs, Trolls, Mummies, and more. From bejeweled crocodiles who harness the power of the sun to the mighty one-eyed Cyclops, you will command diverse units inspired by the world’s great mythologies. Plus, with the Immortal Pillars expansion*, command winged tigers, the chaotic Hundun, and the ravenous Taotie of Chinese mythology (*Immortal Pillars available with the Premium edition or sold separately).

Experience Age of Mythology: Retold like never before. In the main game, go head-to-head with friends or challenge the advanced AI across countless, randomly generated maps for endless strategic battles.
For a fresh twist, step into Arena of the Gods—an all-new mode where you take on the role of a legendary hero, facing 35 mythic skirmishes filled with divine challenges.

[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/9c0337e09392a295d8b7b6d41cb2439f3e6d3cbf.jpg"]Game Launch Loading Screens
Each time you launch the game, you will now see a different image during each launch. Each launch will show one of the following images: the base game background, the Immortal Pillars background, the Heavenly Spear background, the Triptych combining all three, and the Obsidian Mirror background. You can see all of these images below, including the previously unseen official full version of the Triptych!
[table noborder=1 equalcells=1]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/7697c59889351ba962c0cef4d993c1a1ee1c325b.jpg{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/6f769f2e92dd7db8d36e88f6ff9b384d885cf902.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/2adedfcadd9a5e143b36d6e28046f8cc6ffe765f.jpg{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/b85339c1ec940f4ccd0760d8f1a9be722e766937.png
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/0f1d791759842ca4905badc6348b09705a097aa6.pngNew Cheat Codes
This patch brings 10 new cheat codes to try out! The new cheat codes mostly require owning the Obsidian Mirror DLC, one cheat requires owning the Premium Edition with the Freyr God Pack, and two cheats require owning the New Gods Pack: Demeter DLC.
The original release of the previous patch notes contained a typo in one of the cheat codes, which should have read “FALKOR” with a “K”. If you missed trying out this cheat during the last update, now is a great time to try that out too!
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/ed1fff41f0f150d75e4a819f969aaa9e97a2519e.jpg{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/617e7f6105961f015fd296daf0914cff565a53ef.jpg{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/aff7d3f32fae4e089550b54fc52d0a2afd153bd9.jpgNew Greek Language Audio
Spoken Greek language audio is now available! Players who want to use Greek as their preferred language for the campaigns can now experience playing through in their preferred language!
Now is a great time to jump in and try out the campaign if you want to experience the gameplay and cutscenes with this new localized audio!Lobby UI Updates
The Lobby Settings have gradually grown since the initial Age of Mythology: Retold launch, and they were starting to become a little overcrowded. This patch brings a new Lobby Setting to add World Twists to Singleplayer and Multiplayer! To make room for this setting and any future settings, you will now find settings split between two pages instead of crowding them all onto one tab.
Examples of the Tabs
You can swap between these tabs by clicking the pips at the bottom, the arrows that appear next to them, or by using the binding shown at the bottom of the screen for your other control input mode.
[table equalcells=1 noborder=1]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/29744e7520428eb0eadff7e0283353c28621e75c.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/45290fb7846fbda54f503381c7e604bce26f867b.pngWorld Twist Setting
The new World Twist setting brings another feature that has been available since Arena of the Gods launched, in related game modes. This change allows you to bring most of the World Twists into your Singleplayer and Multiplayer matches to provide another way to change how games feel! The World Twists available include all those that you are used to seeing if you have played the modes where they have been available. Hovering over the World Twists Lobby Setting will explain a couple of special cases, and if you want to see the description of the World Twists, those can be read by using the “i” button next to the dropdown. That will show you this tooltip:
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/fba814cd00be564706b83abc510f5fbceeefab25.png
Some additional notes on World Twists:
- The default is still no World Twists.
- You can choose to randomize between 1 and 3 World Twists, or you can select one specific World Twist.
- Celestial Remnants is only available as an option and a randomly selected World Twist while playing Singleplayer. This is because the World Twist will only work correctly in its current form with only 1 or 2 human players on the same team.
- Prometheus’s Secret Knowledge will not be randomly selected if you have “Allow Titans” disabled. However, Titans will be enabled if you manually select this as a specific World Twist to apply.
- Some World Twists may not function correctly on all maps.
- Celestial Remnants will not be selected randomly on Nomad, Team Migration, and Vinlandsaga, as it may not place units correctly on these maps. You can still manually select this blessing on these maps.
Gauntlet XP Change
Gauntlet XP gains were a little low for players who were not playing on Legendary, so we have increased the XP gain on lower difficulties. Gaining higher XP is still intended to incentivize learning to play greater difficulties for more reward while playing through Gauntlet Labyrinths. The base multiplier applied to each difficulty has been adjusted as follows.These changes only apply to the multiplier for the per-node XP gain and don’t modify any additional bonus sources, such as the large XP bonus for completing Labyrinths with all end-of-Labyrinth rewards already obtained.
- Standard increased 1x → 2x.
- Moderate increased 1.5x → 3x.
- Hard increased 2x → 4x.
- Titan increased 3x → 5x.
- Extreme increased 5x → 6x.
- Legendary remains unchanged as an 8x XP multiplier.

Pan teaches your heroes the hymn of the wildwood, which allows them to heal nearby allied units in the area.
New Obsidian Mirror Random Map – Tenochtitlan’s Heart
This update brings a new Random Map to players who own the Obsidian Mirror DLC!
Located before the founding capital of the Aztec Empire, this urban map features winding canals and capturable landmarks that drive constant conflict. Narrow causeways and tightly packed districts create natural chokepoints, forcing a balanced aggression in a competition for key resources.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/b665da22f58d71d35298695efb8a048428b6fb7a.png

◆Update 19.12998◆
Developer Note: Reminder that Replays are not compatible between patch updates. Replays are not compatible because the simulation logic changes in ways that prevent them from running synchronously with their original behavior.

- Icons shown while aging up in the build queue will now show the alternate icons based on your player preference. E.g., any of the visuals from the Legacy Portraits pack or other rewards from the Ultimate Fan Pack / Community Events.
- Cleaned up some asset references for the UI that are not used to ensure only things that are used will be loaded through the shared definitions.
- New Fire Ceremony now shows a notification saying it has been activated and shows a tooltip while hovering over the timer shown in the God Power timers part of the UI. The notification is visible only to the player who activated it. The effect no longer sends any minimap pings when it occurs.
- Cosmic Guard no longer shows minimap pings; instead, it shows a notification when the effect activates. The notification is only visible to the current player. A future patch will address showing a unique notification message and tooltip similar to the New Fire Ceremony effect.
- Fixed grid UI and hotkeys not working as expected in some additional situations (e.g., partially constructed buildings). (Applied in a minor hotfix patch between main patches).
Controller
- Added support for setting Gather / Rally points on buildings that don’t have units to train or garrisoned units to eject. This feature has been added to the following units: Calpulli Livestock Pen, Sky Passage, and Underworld Passage.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Sons of the Sun from appearing as available on Controller due to a conflict with the Time Shift option.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Stealth context action for the A button (Square on PS5) while playing on a Controller from functioning correctly.
- Fixed logic for the X button to allow units that can perform a Devote Major action to Garrison into the Great Temple when that action is available.
- The Quick Action for Warrior Priests will now reset to their Transformation action when you age up to the Classical Age with any Aztec Major God. Previously, if you controlled any Warrior Priests prior to entering the Classical Age, they would remain defaulted to a building Quick Action.
- Added Set Gather Point as a D-pad Right shortcut on the Calpulli Livestock Pen so that Controller players can benefit from sending their Turkeys to a specified location.

◆Update 19.11687◆
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/9c0337e09392a295d8b7b6d41cb2439f3e6d3cbf.jpgNew Cheat Code
This patch brings one new Cheat Code for players who own the Obsidian Mirror DLC!
RANGERS ASSEMBLE
Spawns 6 Eagle Rangers as a stronger form of Eagle Warrior units. This cheat also enables the Medium, Heavy, and Champion Nobles Hut Soldiers technologies to upgrade their visual appearance and stats. Inspired by the original Power Rangers, the Eagle Ranger units have special color overrides that make them appear in Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, and Black. They also use the voice of Popocatepetl. Fun fact: Popocatepetl was voiced by an actor who played the Red Ranger.
Requires owning the Obsidian Mirror DLC.
Disclaimer: The way the colors are applied to these units relies on overriding the last 6 of 8 Fake Player colors. This means using the cheat in custom scenarios and campaign missions where Fake Player Colors are used in these slots may result in incorrect colors on other units.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/e4f9cd2453670be956e2de6536deccc42d88b883.png
Blood and Bones Pack DLC – Settings Updates
This patch brings even more control over how long objects persist on the map and when the bones should transition dynamically from bloodied to white. This patch brings changes to address both of these!
- Added a new setting “Skeleton Transition”. This setting controls the percent of visible duration at which the dynamic skeletons option will swap from Bloodied to White. The setting defaults to 50%, and you can adjust it between 5% and 100% to suit your preference.
- The “Skeleton Visible Duration” and “Blood Pool Visible Duration” settings now have a new option to make them last “An Age”, which is 1800 seconds. This additional duration is three times larger than the previous maximum of 600 seconds. You may experience reduced performance with large quantities of blood and bones present, depending on your hardware.

◆Update 19.10938◆
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/f82946d112a9e247d6574e888bd6d685bacdf195.jpgDeveloper Note: Reminder that Replays are not compatible between patch updates. Replays are not compatible because the simulation logic changes in ways that cause replays to no longer run synchronously with their original behaviors.
Stability & Performance
- Minor general improvements to stability.
- Improved loading times when transitioning between scenarios and the main menu on PlayStation 5. Loading times were being slowed by some unnecessary additional checks related to DLC ownership. These checks are now cached correctly across all platforms to improve loading times.
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur while units are hidden in Stealth.
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur while trying to cast God Powers.
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur during the Chaos God Power.
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur when a stealthed unit is revealed, and a sound plays for the unit’s owner.
Localization
- Updates to some translations to improve translation quality.
Graphics
- Minor improvements to all carry animations and relic attachment positions for the Warrior Priest and all Teixiptla versions.
- Fixed Zhuque’s Eye VFX so that it attaches correctly to the model after researching the unique unit’s upgrade.
- Fixed Taowu’s Eye VFX so that it attaches correctly to the model after researching the unique unit’s upgrade.
- Fixed Bushi’s Bow appearing in a static position during the unit’s birth animation. The bow will now travel with the unit’s hand.
- Fixed missing light VFX on all stages of the Japanese Dock.
- Fixed missing Idle Zzz VFX on Japanese fishing ships.
- Units that die while turned to stone will no longer drop blood or skeletons. For example, when turned to stone by Medusa’s attack.
- Fixed Aztec Broken and Fallen Column rotations and positions. These assets are now centered in the obstruction radius to match all the other Pantheons.
- Removed random plants from some Aztec grass terrain textures: Aztec Aztlan Grass 2, Aztec Valley Grass 2, and Aztec Marsh Grass 2.
- Added new cinematic animations for Iztaccihuatl’s Jaguar to appear in the Obsidian Mirror 07 cinematic.
- Added new cinematic animation for an Iztaccihuatl dismounted attack to appear in the Obsidian Mirror 01 post-scenario cinematic.
- Fixed a bug that could cause trees to stay levitating in some cases after using the TO THE MOON cheat.
- Fixed Popocatepetl’s missing weapon for his hand attack animations in cinematics.
- Fixed a bug that allowed units in the Fog of War on the main menu to highlight when hovered with a mouse.
- Added additional animation support for the Capybara:
- Added new animations for: Bored, Death, and Flail.
- Updated animations: Walk and Eat.
- Added a Tent variation to the Tent and TentSPC units for the Aztecs to support Sudden Death and custom maps.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Aztec Animal of Set units to show their VFX incorrectly. Fixed the VFX attachment point for Alpaca of Set, Anaconda of Set, Jaguar of Set, Black Jaguar of Set, Ocelot of Set, Tapir Child of Set, and Tapir of Set. Also reduced the VFX size for Tapir Child of Set to use the tiny variation instead of the small variation.
- Ayotochtli’s Wrecking Ball attack no longer shows an arrow because the attack may not necessarily follow the direction of the arrow if the path is obstructed.
Audio
- Aztec Villagers will now play a sound when they begin their Devotion.
- Fixed Regent Select and Acknowledgment sounds for all Pantheons and Major Gods added from Freyr onward. Fixes for the Major Gods: Demeter, Freyr, Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, Huitzilopochtli, Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl.
- Adjusted Tonalli SFX.
- Increased Tunkuluchu SFX volume.
- Orpheus is now more likely to play his unique sound effect instead of silence during his bored animation. Changed from 75% chance for silence to 50% chance.
- Increasing Line of Sight used by the Quimichin Spy and the Oracle now only plays the sound at max Line of Sight for Oracle units.
- Fixed Bored and Birth sounds for the Cipactli Titan.
UI
- Fixed a bug that caused Kronos’s Time Shift action to not appear on Temples.
- Updated Chaneque unit icon for the unupgraded unit so that it doesn’t prematurely show the upgraded unit visuals.
- Selecting multiple Calpulli with the shared building selection enabled will now show options as expected. Interacting with the upgrade options will only promote one Calpulli at a time.
- The TempestSPC God Power no longer shows in the active God Power list in the UI.
- Removed reference in the Compendium to the free Sentry Tower upgrade that is no longer granted to Egyptians after changes in previous patches.
- Tooltips shown while placing a God Power will no longer persist if you open the Settings menu. Previously, the tooltip would remain on top of other UI elements until the game was resumed and the power was placed or canceled.
- The Medium Great Temple Soldiers technology will no longer show for related units in the Compendium or when viewing unit info. This technology is a hidden helper technology, so it is not intended to appear in the UI.
- Updated the Advanced Traps icon to represent the Smoke Trap in addition to the existing visuals that represented the Spike Trap.
- Removed some placeholders and duplicate unused icons.
- Updated the Smoke Trap and its ability icon to a new, unique appearance.
- Updated the Spike Trap ability icon to remove a placeholder.
- Fixed duplication of an icon when viewing Trap technologies and units in the Technology Tree.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Tepoztli Canoe to show an incorrect icon as a duplicate of another icon.
- Fixed ability and Compendium references for Aztec Traps.
- Fixed Tlacanexquimilli’s passive icons so that only one shows and correctly uses the unique lifesteal icon. This fix was also applied to make all 3 ProtoUnit variations of Tlacanexquimilli show the passive correctly.
- Feast of Sustenance will now show a message saying “You are celebrating the Feast of Sustenance.” each time you devote a herdable instead of incorrectly referencing the Rain God Power.
- Feast of Sustenance will now show only to yourself in the active God Power list for the 15 second duration of the effect for improved uptime visibility.
- Fixed a bug that caused data shown to the UI to be incorrect in some situations after unapplying some technologies. E.g., when destroying a Wonder, the Inventory Size and Initial Resource properties of some units may have been displayed incorrectly.
- The Tonalli Harvester passive now only shows on Temples for Aztec Pantheon Major Gods.
- Smoke and Spike traps now have a button to Delete.
- Garrisoning units will no longer reset the command panel focused unit if a reset can be avoided.
- The Player Name Treatment setting for the Ultimate Fan Pack will now function correctly. Before this fix, the name treatment visuals could incorrectly appear after restarting the game with the setting disabled.
Controller
- Adjusted the positioning of build commands in the Warrior Priest’s Radial Menu to a more comfortable position.
- Fixed a bug that caused the setting of Rally Points with a controller to appear at a selected building’s position instead of the targeted world position when using the minimap.

- Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, rules as a wise priest-king, accelerating his people with the power of wind while strengthening culture and learning.
- Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror, embraces night, chaos, and sorcery, summoning underworld minions and bending reality through illusion.
- Huitzilopochtli, the god of sun and war, demands sacrifice and devotion, granting devastating power to those willing to give everything in his name.
Expand your divine influence with nine new Minor Gods, each bringing unique god powers, myth units, and strategic depth inspired by Aztec legend. Command deities such as Itzpapalotl, the obsidian butterfly of death and magic. Call upon Tlaloc, master of rain and destruction. Unleash Xolotl, whose corrupt influence twists enemies into monstrous forms.
Brand New Campaign: Obsidian Mirror
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44894763/aefd5181da2d4ee80dd04e0790e57f6fc0706bce.png
Obsidian Mirror introduces Fear and Illusion gameplay, offering new ways to dominate the battlefield. Lay traps, manipulate enemy behavior, harvest life force, and construct towers from fallen foes. At the heart of Aztec power lies Tonalli, the essence of life released in battle. Every fallen warrior will fuel divine Favor and empower your gods, driving your civilization forward. Even your villagers can offer their life force when greater power is needed.
The all-new 12-mission campaign tells an epic story of divine conflict and survival. When the eternal rivalry between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca destroys the utopian city of Aztlan, Huitzilopochtli seizes the moment to lead his people south in search of a new empire. Meanwhile, Tezcatlipoca escapes through his Obsidian Mirror, crossing continents to recruit legendary allies and reclaim his dominance. Gods will clash, alliances will fracture, and the fate of the Aztec people will be decided by blood, belief, and power.
Obsidian Mirror is a dramatic evolution of Age of Mythology: Retold. For fans who have waited years to see the Aztecs rise, and for strategy players drawn to bold mythic themes and inventive mechanics, this expansion delivers a fierce new vision of divine warfare.
