In World's Edge, microtransactions for Age of Empires 4 are not considered. The new study, which will now be in charge of all the contents related to the franchise – the game is developed by Relic Games – argues that this type of business model It does not fit the video games of the strategy genre. This is explained by Adam Isgreen, creative director of the title, in statements to PCGamesN.
"The idea of microtransactions in a real-time strategy game does not fit," said the creative. What they do explore is the possibility of expanding the content through expansions in the future, although of course, it is still too early to delve into the post-launch plan. According to the director, even professional players asked that no new civilizations be added through DLC. He has dropped that they will consult with the community to raise new content, such as game modes.
