Is Mod Support Available in Age of Mythology Retold?

Age of Mythology: Retold is a faithful remake of the beloved 2002 release, featuring enhanced visuals, numerous quality-of-life enhancements, and console compatibility. The PC edition offers a wide range of customizable options and displays beautifully on larger displays. Developer Forgotten Worlds has a history of supporting mod creation and installation in their previous definitive editions of the Age of Empires series, but will this continue with Age of Mythology: Retold?

Is Age of Mythology Retold Compatible with Mods?

Official mod support is available for Age of Mythology: Retold, allowing players to use the Scenario Editor to create their own mods.

Just like in previous Age of Empire games, players can find and download mods on the franchise’s dedicated website through the “mods”section. Once subscribed, the mod will be automatically added to their game. Of course, signing in to the website is necessary.

Gamers have the ability to view the mods they have subscribed to and track the performance of their own mods. Additionally, they can use filters to search for specific types of mods from various categories.

At present, the top-rated mod restores the original voiceovers, while the second most popular mod maintains the original release’s UI layout. You can see the voice-acting mod in action below:

At the time of writing, the standard edition owners are still waiting for the game to be released. It is expected that there will be a significant increase in the number of mods in the upcoming weeks.

Forgotten Worlds has been successful in streamlining the process of obtaining and designing mods. While it may not be as effortless as using Steam Workshop, it is a close contender. It is impressive to see this feature available from the beginning, giving players the opportunity to customize their game even more.
