Arena of the Gods: the new game mode coming to Age of Mythology: Retold will be highly replayable

Age of Mythology: Retold fans are in for a treat with a new game mode, Arena of the Gods. This latest mythic journey invites players to become legendary heroes and shape their destinies. Set to be available as a free update on November 7th, Arena of the Gods introduces 35 skirmish missions across mythical landscapes filled with divine challenges.

In this new game mode, players will take on the role of Kastor, battling across diverse mythological landscapes and facing off against legendary enemies.

Playing as Kastor, embark on missions which will take you across fabled landscapes, pitting you against mythical enemies and – should you be victorious – reward you with Blessings from the gods themselves.

According to the announcement, Age of Mythology: Retold’s Arena of the Gods can be played solo or with a friend. Each mission is unpredictable, with the so-called World Twists changing conditions on the fly.

Arena of the Gods introduces dozens of new features, including:

• 35 Epic Skirmishes: Test your might across mythic landscapes with selectable difficulty.
• Solo or Co-Op: Play alone or team up with a friend for cooperative fun.
• Blessings From the Gods: Gain powerful abilities like Poseidon’s Rushing Tides and Thor’s Crashing Thunder.
• Dynamic World Twists: Enjoy ever-changing conditions that keep battles fresh and exciting.

Every victory in Arena of the Gods will unlock powerful Blessings for players to utilize in future missions, allowing for extensive replay.

Suggestively, the gods will challenge the player at every turn, and the landscape will fight back. World Twists add a new level of fun challenges to the battlefield, such as clusters of units spawning across the map for the player(s) to collect, double effectiveness for all God technologies, Villagers gathering many more resources, and so on.

Fans of the game seem excited about the new mode. On Reddit, the news already gathered enthusiasm from the fans of Age of Mythology: Retold, with many agreeing that the game needed such a mode.

We badly needed this game mode. It is like AoM’s own version of SC2 co-op. Hopefully it will have more updates when new god packs or new pantheon comes out as well. I can foresee content creators just dedicated to this mode.

Age of Mythology: Retold was released last month, and it was very well received by critics and the gaming community. Many called it even superior to the original. The new mode gives hope that this game won’t be forgotten as quickly as it came out.

After all, Immortal Pillars, the first expansion pack focusing on Chinese mythology, has already been announced, and another expansion will also be released in the future. With the Arena of the Gods mode, there is hope that the Age of Mythology: Retold is here to stay – at least for a few years.

Arena of the Gods will be available as a free update for all owners of Age of Mythology: Retold on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and Xbox. If you don’t already own Age of Mythology: Retold, you can get it now on any of the platforms above.
