The Forgotten Empires website announces Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon, a new expansion coming to Age of Mythology just 13 years after the release of the game and 12 years following the last add-on for this real-time strategy game originally developed by Ensemble Studios. They promise a livestream with more on the news on Twitch on October 2nd, and in the meantime offer the following preliminary details:

13 years. It’s been 13 years since the release of Age of Mythology on PC. And 12 years since the release of its expansion pack: The Titans. But for great games like Age of Mythology, these years are merely a number. It’s time for a new expansion pack! With the collective experience and with expansions for the Age of Empires II series, Age of Mythology almost feels like the next logical step, although next time we probably shouldn’t wait over a decade before taking on the challenge :)

Many of you already guessed it after the sneaky teaser at E3 and a lot of speculation has been seen across the community boards, but now the word is officially out: Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon is being created by Forgotten Empires and SkyBox Labs and will be the next part in the legendary series.
