Age of Mythology: Retold Playtest is a playtest associated with Age of Mythology: Retold, a real-time strategy game set in a mythic world where gods, monsters and humans collide. That larger game provides context for the test, but its listed campaigns and features should not be taken as a promise of what the playtest contains.
The parent game draws on Greek, Norse, Egyptian and Atlantean mythologies. Its documented design pairs strategy with divine powers, legendary creatures and human armies: players can summon forces such as lightning storms or command units including Centaurs, Trolls and Mummies. These myth-inspired tools give the game a distinctive alternative to a purely historical RTS setting.
Age of Mythology: Retold also frames its battles around varied ways to play, including a 50-mission campaign, competitive and cooperative multiplayer, and the Arena of the Gods mode with mythic skirmishes. These are features of the associated game, not confirmed inclusions in this playtest. The test’s exact scope is not specified, so its content may differ from the full game.
