About This Content

Embark on an epic journey with Age of Empires IV: Knights of Cross and Rose, the newest DLC that puts you in command of two well-known armies inspired by history. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or new to the series, this DLC delivers rich, historically inspired content that can be enjoyed across a variety of modes.

Featuring variant civilizations that expand upon the concept, this DLC introduces the Knights Templar and House of Lancaster, which innovate upon the French and English. These armies bring with them a war chest full of unique units, game mechanics, and strategies. Command the indomitable Knights Templar with their valorous crusaders and blend of European military traditions that offer a wide range of possible strengths. Marshal the resolute forces of the House of Lancaster, steeped in the turmoil of The War of the Roses and possessing unparalleled ranged tactics; the House of Lancaster utilizes their thriving economy to acquire technological advantages little known in Europe at the time. Both variant civilizations offer engaging new combat opportunities, ensuring every match is a clash of wits and courage alike.

Live the legacy of these iconic armies in the new action-packed game mode: Historical Battles. Rally the Knights Templar and House of Lancaster in missions inspired by iconic historic confrontations. Lead the Knights Templar in the Battle of Montgisard as they stave off Saladin’s forces. Ensure the House of Lancaster’s survival against the Yorkists after a calamitous defeat at Towton.

Designed to give you a glimpse into pivotal moments in history, these four missions offer the opportunity to challenge your skills in repeat plays as you try new strategies and earn medals. Each mission includes an optional Conqueror Mode for the especially brave of heart.

What's more, this DLC enriches your skirmish and multiplayer encounters with 10 new maps. Navigate diverse terrains that range from lush countrysides to treacherous battlegrounds, each demanding tailored strategies and keen insight. Whether you're skirting the flanks in a multiplayer clash or plotting a singleplayer siege on hallowed historical grounds, these maps ensure there's always a fresh field to test your mettle.

With this new content, Knights of Cross and Rose, is set to captivate both new and returning players alike. The Historical Battles offer concentrated yet intense challenges for those who prefer solo play that emphasizes adept strategy, while the Knights Templar and House of Lancaster expand further upon the unique elements of variant civilizations. Expect an immersive experience with these compelling additions to the beloved Age of Empires IV universe—a true testament to the franchise's continual growth and innovation.

Secure your journey into the heart of medieval conflict, where legends are forged, and empires rise from the crucible of battle. Build massive armies. Command your troops. Claim your place in history with Age of Empires IV: Knights of Cross and Rose.
