The Age of Wonder 4: Primal Fury content pack will release on 27th February, Triumph Studios and Paradox Interactive have announced, adding a new Primal Culture that’s all about beasts and nature.
Age of Wonders 4 is the latest in the long-running fantasy grand strategy series, and Triumph Studios has found a new theme to explore with the Primal Culture – the game’s third DLC.
This pack will allow you to channel an animal spirit that transforms both the physical and spiritual nature of an empire, alongside new Magic Tomes of Fey Mists and of the Stormborne, which add new spells like magical fog to conceal troops, take advantage of seas and shorelines, and can transform your armies into nagas!
This will come alongside the free Wolf Update, which will rework necromancy, add new randomly generated items, and bring War Bounties so you can direct allies in conflict.
Primal Fury will be priced at $9.99/£8.49/€9.99, but it’s included with the Expansion Pass and the Premium Edition of Age of Wonders 4.
Here’s the bullet points:
- Primal Culture
- From the Tunneling Spider to the Glacial Mammoth, choose one of seven primal animals for your people to worship and shape their physical and spiritual lives. Each animal is linked to a specific terrain and damage type, allowing you to terraform the land to your chosen biome and gain powerful buffs in combat.
- Venture on a quest unique to each primal animal and earn rewards!
- Lupine and Goatkin, new physical forms for your people, providing new fantasies for your empire to fulfill. Create a faction of arcane wolves or forest-dwelling satyrs!
- 2 New Tomes of Magic
- Tome of Fey Mists: Specializes in spreading magical mists that shield units from ranged attacks and grant buffs.
- Tome of the Stormborne: Focuses on control of water and lightning. Gain powerful economic buffs from ocean provinces, build fearsome Stormbringer units and transform your armies into Naga!
- 4 New Mounts and 6 New Wildlife Units to battle with and against!
- New Realm Content which will plunge your empire into a world of hostile seas, gripped in a war between two powerful Godir of nature.
- Primal Fury interface skin, which lets you play Age of Wonders 4 with a wild new visual design with wooden frames and blooming flowers.
Age of Wonders 4 came out in May last year and, while we unfortunately weren’t able to review the game at that time, it had a broadly positive reception. It saw the series return to the fantasy setting of the earlier games, after the sci-fi divergence of Age of Wonders: Planetfall, and brought some fun new ways to mix and match your wildly customisable empires and races.
