It seems just likeDragon Age: The Veilguard,Age of Empires 3: Definitive Editionis also ending its journey. The former was released in October 2024 by BioWare. After becoming the most successful single-player game of EA,Veilguardreceived its final major update a few days ago.

Developers finally cancel the already announced DLC forAge of Empires 3: Definitive Edition
Although theAge of Empiresfranchise has seen many triumphs and some ambitious plans, the forthcoming DLC forAge of Empires 3: Definitive Editionhas been plagued by a cloud.
The DLC, which was originally scheduled for release in late 2024 and was announced nearly a year ago, was postponed to an ambiguous“future date.”The DLC has now been fully canceled, according to arecent announcement on Steam.
Although there have been very few official announcements regarding this DLC, we do know that it will introduce two new civilizations toAge of Empires 3. These would come from Denmark and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, according to a teaser from the developer stream where the DLC was first made public.
This would have increased the number of civilizations in theDefinitive Editionto 24. But in October 2024, this thrilling addition to the strategy game was postponed.

The last part of the announcement sounds kind of intriguing. TheAge of Empiresteam stated that as it is not moving forward with the DLC content, it will“continue to maintain servers, rotate civs through the free trial version, and provide Customer Support for any issues you may encounter while playing.”
Reading the conclusion of the announcement, players might wonder if the developers have put an end to any future significant updates to the game as well.

WithDragon Age: The Veilguard“engaging”1.5 million players from October 2024 to the end of the year,“down nearly 50 percent from the company’s expectations,”EA said earlier this week that the game had failed to meet the publisher’s internal targets. Although major updates toDragon Age: The Veilguardwere not expected and BioWare had already ruled out the possibility of DLC, fans have responded in shock to the sudden termination of any further minor enhancements.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard‘s farewell was quite understandable asBioWare wanted to focus onMass Effect 5. But the abrupt termination ofAge of Empire 3: Definitive Editionis still a mystery.
