Age of Empires is one of those IPs that arouse passions. The franchise is back stronger than ever and with a Microsoft ready to give you all the strength and passion you deserve. In recent years we’ve had the Definitive Edition and the fourth installment, which turned out to be a pretty sweet candy.
However, at the time, it was said that this new game would arrive on Xbox One and Xbox Series. But today there is not even an official announcement and all the statements we have received about it are ambiguous. A version of Age of Empires IV for consoles is completely viable if it is adapted to the controller in the right way. Many strategy games have shown that it can be done.
Age of Empires IV for Xbox could soon be a reality
With E3 2022 and the possible digital shows looming over the coming months, it’s only fitting that Microsoft is saving things. But sometimes the Microsoft Store is a traitor in this regard and ends up filtering out the surprises that those who datamining it end up finding. As a result, we were able to discover many games, downloadable content and much more.
The Aggioneromenti Lumia account, an account that we have already referenced many times, has abandoned this found a test version of a game on the Xbox Insider Hub. This is where demos and beta versions of the game are distributed to testers for testing. According to some additional reports on the codename “Cardinal January 2022”, this is a version of Age of Empires IV for Xbox. In fact, the account itself responds to a user that it is quite possible that it is in question.

As for whether we are finally facing a console version of Age of Empires IV, we only have to wait to confirm it, a test version in the Insider Hub only means that whatever that game is, it’s about to be shown.
