Battle your way through three new campaigns spanning across India, uncover betrayals and reclaim your lands while immersing yourself in the stories of history. While you vie for power, you’ll unlock several new achievements on your Xbox or Steam account!” The past expansions to Age Of Empires II: Definitive Edition both released in 2021 and were titled The Lords of the West and Dawn of the Dukes.
