Age Of Wonders 4 is the first sequel in nine years for the Age of Wonders fantasy strategy game series, bringing new levels of customization and replayability to the games’ iconic empire-building, role-playing, and best-in-class tactical combat.

Rule a fantasy realm of your own design in Age of Wonders 4! Explore new magical realms in Age of Wonders’ signature blend of 4X strategy and turn-based tactical combat. Control a faction that grows and changes as you expand your empire with each turn.

Triumph Studios’ award-winning strategy series has emerged into a new age, evolving the game’s iconic empire building, role-playing, and warfare to the next level. A new storytelling event system and hugely customizable empires provide an endlessly replayable experience, where each game adds a new chapter to your ever-growing saga.

Powerful Wizard Kings have returned to the realms to reign as gods among mortals, and players will rise to challenge their rule using Tomes of Magic to unleash arcane destruction and evolve their armies, gaining new abilities and forms. For the first time in the series, players can create their own custom factions, and leave their mark on countless worlds through each choice they make.

Paradox Interactive and Triumph Studios announced details for Age Of Wonders 4's first content pack, Dragon Dawn, which enhances the gameplay with a distinct leader type, a physical appearance for factions, more Tomes of Magic, and even a fresh realm option. 

Like its name implies, the Age Of Wonders 4: Dragon Dawn Content Pack is all about dragons. Players can build their fiery empires, lead reptilian armies, harness draconic magic, and set fire to their enemies as a Dragon Ruler. The pack will also launch alongside the free Wyvern Update, including an array of updates, quality of life upgrades, and balance changes identified by the Age Of Wonders community.

“During the development of Age Of Wonders 4, we had more ideas than we had time to add them. We knew we wanted to do something very special with Dragons and Reptilian beings, so with Dragon Dawn, we went all-in,” said Lennart Sas, Co-founder of Triumph Studios and Director of Age Of Wonders 4. “How many games allow you to customize an actual Dragon Ruler with unique abilities and styles? Dragon Dawn is the perfect example of how we want to build upon the Age Of Wonders experience for our players.”
