Which game is this about? Age of Mythology Retold is a remastered version of Age of Mythology, which was released in 2002 and is a spin-off of the Age of Empires series. This graphically enhanced version was first announced in 2022 and is set to be released on Steam later this year.
This fantasy spin-off takes you back to ancient Greece. To the time of myths and allows you to experience the stories of gods and titans.
In a new video, the developers now present the three revised character models:
What does the video show? The video showcases the three character models of Medusa, Pegasus, and Cerberus in new graphics. These are presented in larger sizes and from different perspectives than players will experience in the game later. However, this is meant to give a good impression of the details and work that the developers have put in.
For example, Pegasus is shown in a new color scheme. While Cerberus is also introduced in detail, he will appear much larger in the game. And as a titan, he can simply walk through deeper waters due to his size and thus reach hard-to-access places.
How are players reacting? In the comments under the video (via YouTube), it is clear that many players are looking forward to the remastered version of Age of Mythology. Many write that they have been waiting for this moment for years, and they truly hope that this remaster will bring them as much joy as the original.
In fact, most comments are very nostalgic, and many players write about their memories of the game, similar to user pamnakano, who simply describes Age of Mythology as his childhood.
For example, user cemolioz7303 writes: “I’ve been playing this game since I was a little kid. I have played through the campaign over and over again, then created my own campaign in the editor, and seeing this game retold just makes me incredibly happy.”
Many players similarly recount their childhood memories associated with Age of Mythology:

- erdemsengun12 writes: “I learned English with this game, now my child will learn it the same way as his father… I can’t help but be as excited as I was back then…”
- imiketsyt_ writes: “I was born in 2003. I discovered the game through my older cousins, and when I was 12, I started playing the original. Now I’m 21 and will definitely buy the Retold version.”
