- Arena of the gods announcement
- Posted by Yeebaagooon on October 22nd, 2024 @ 03:20 a.m.
- AoE official has announced a new game mode coming to Retold; Arena of the Gods. It will drop free on the 7th of November.
This game mode was mentioned pre-release. From the details given it looks like you will lead Kastor through 35 possible new missions (actually less to get to the finale due to the labyrinth branching mechanic).
The missions will have world twists, which are small thematic modifiers.
Interestingly a player will be able to choose a set of blessings, unique bonuses only available on AoTG missions.
From the screenshot there will be at least one ‘boss arena’ type mission. Whether this can match up to the custom content boss battles of old remains to be seen but still looks like an interesting feature!

Hocus Pocus 2024
Our Halloween themed screenshot competition is back from a two year silent slumber for a Retold extravaganza. This year, you have until October the 28th to submit your spooky screenshot, giving plenty of time and notice for designers.
We have a proud tradition of new forumers making their screenshot debut in this competition as well as our regular screenshot veterans returning. I really hope we are going to see lots of entries!
There are a number of fantastic guides to help you out in our scenario design hub, including how to line up animations and take a screenshot.
- Retold is now in early access
- Posted by Yeebaagooon on August 28th, 2024 @ 01:08 a.m.
- Mortals, the time has come.
Retold is now live! Those who have purchased early access are able to enjoy the game.
As such, we’ve had a few changes to the main site to help you out with navigating the new game.
Retold Central contains all the details.
Check out our what’s new page for an overview of all the salient features of the game.
We have a brand new scenario design hub which we hope to load full of guides over the coming months. The continuous screenshot competition is also restarting!
- One week to go until Retold

The early access that is. Retold is out in two weeks, ushering a new era for the beloved game and this site.
Perhaps now is the time to reflect on the current game before it meets the final demise and can rest on Olympus itself.
There has also been a new video released from Gamescon which demonstrates the new major god pack for the Norse (DLC): Freyr.
I managed to find this image on AgeWiki of a flaming fenris wolf god power for the mythic age, entitled Inferno!
- Do you want to play AoM Retold THIS WEEKEND?
- Posted by Yeebaagooon on July 24th, 2024 @ 2:49 p.m.
- I bring joyous news that you can! Even better, no purchase is necessary.
So what’s happening here? The developers very sensibly want to stress test the multiplayer servers. Each day over the weekend will have a 3 hour slot where players will be invited to play Retold on the multiplayer servers.
This is all the detail we have, it looks pretty clear this will be a supremacy/normal game mode event. I am unsure whether deathmatch/lighting or other such modes will be permitted. Custom scenarios will be out since nobody has had any time to make them, and the editor will not be available during this event.
How do I join?
Join the Age of Mythology: Retold Playtest by going to the steam page and requesting access. Download can only be done 6 hours before a slot starts.
When is this happening?- Friday, 26 July – 5:30 am PT (8:30 am ET / 12:30 UTC) to 8:30 am PT (11:30 am ET / 15:30 UTC)
- Saturday, 27 July – 5:30 am PT (8:30 am ET / 12:30 UTC) to 8:30 am PT (11:30 am ET / 15:30 UTC)
- Sunday, 28 July – 5:30 am PT (8:30 am ET / 12:30 UTC) to 8:30 am PT (11:30 am ET / 15:30 UTC)
