I acknowledge the original Age of Mythology’s rough launch and reception back in the early 2000s, and expressed my own interest in seeing what changes the team had made in the Retold game.
You can expect as we get closer to launch, we’ll definitely ramp up the content and the coverage to make sure that people get everything they want to know about the game out there because that is a lot to talk about…"
