Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition’s next content update, Knights of the Mediterranean, will release on 26th May, 2022.
Confirmed by way of a shiny new video teaser, Ensemble Studios revealed more about the new content’s Italians and Maltese civilisations, a brand new “casual friendly Tycoon game mode”, and the first-ever set of Historical Maps, which it reckons will bring “endless replayability with a historical twist”.

The Maltese civilisation is special because – as “one of the Mediterranean’s epitomes of a melting pot” – it can “guard the Mediterranean against incursions with unique fortifications, don shining armour to fend off attacks, and shell opponents from afar with Fixed Guns”. You also have access to “superior logistics” when fighting, and special Order Galleys, too.
