About This Game

The Forgotten adds seven new campaigns to Age of Empires II, each grounded in real or legendary history. Alaric: Shaped by the trauma of the Hun invasion in the 4th century, Alaric — warrior king of the Visigoths — battles to carve out a new homeland for his people from the collapsing territory of the Roman Empire. Sforza: A young and ambitious mercenary captain wanders 15th-century Italy selling his military skills to the highest bidder. Each contract is a gamble: pick the right battle, and rise. Pick the wrong enemy, and fall. Bari: A Byzantine family in the southern Italian port city of Bari traces its rise from common soldiery to the nobility across four centuries of contested Italian history, fighting to protect the city against powers that want it for themselves. Dracula: The mid-15th century Wallachian prince Vlad holds the line against the Ottoman Empire's relentless expansion through tactics so brutal they made him a legend feared across Eastern Europe. His methods are monstrous — but the question is whether they are enough. El Dorado: Francisco Orellana and Gonzalo Pizarro follow rumors of a legendary golden city deep into the Amazon, where the river itself will determine whether the expedition ends in discovery or disaster. Prithviraj: As the 12th century draws to a close, young Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan moves to unite India's divided clans — complicated by a love that crosses enemy lines and a Muslim invasion bearing down from the west. Battles of the Forgotten: Six bonus engagements spotlight commanders history has nearly erased — among them Richard the Lionheart, Minamoto no Yoritomo, and Sultan Osman Ghazi — each at the moment that defined their legacy.
