The developers have begun pre-orders for the title’s launch with a release of a new console launch trailer that you can view above. The trailer sheds light on some of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition’s best features, which includes the 4K Ultra HD graphics and fully remastered audio, and the many civilizations you can lead in the game.

While you can play the RTS title through Xbox Game Pass, players can also pre-order the game itself. Obviously, you can get the standard version. However, players can also get the Age of Empires II: Deluxe Definitive Edition at 15% off until January 30.
