It seems that World's Edge is already busy developing Age of Empires V and is preparing a major update for the entire series. The team responsible for the brand is looking for specialists to help take the strategy to the next level.
Age of Empires is currently experiencing a second wind, and World's Edge has decided to use this moment for the next step. The studio, which oversees the nearly 30-year-old franchise, has begun creating a new installment, which will likely receive a significant technical upgrade.
According to new job postings, World's Edge is abandoning the Essence Engine and Bang Engine used in Age of Empires IV and Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition. The company is looking for a lead and senior engineer familiar with all aspects of Unreal Engine development and with experience managing external teams.
We'll have to wait for the results of the search, but one thing is clear: World's Edge has taken into account the criticism of the graphics in Age of Empires IV and is now planning to create the next installment on its own in order to bring the series up to modern standards and regain the trust of fans.
