About
What started as a small group of passionate game developers turned into a formidable force in the gaming world, known as Forgotten Empires. Founded in 2013, this American game development studio is renowned for its expertise in the real-time strategy genre, most famously through its work on the Age of Empires and Age of Mythology franchises. Over the years, Forgotten Empires has developed multiple expansions and Definitive Editions for these beloved titles, elevating the gaming experiences of countless fans globally. In 2022, a pivotal moment arrived when Forgotten Empires was acquired by Keywords Studios, a move that promised to enhance its capabilities and broaden its reach within the industry. The founders reflected on their remarkable journey, from humble beginnings creating mods for Age of Empires II to collaborating with Microsoft and contributing to prestigious projects like Age of Empires IV. Today, the studio continues to thrive, pushing creative boundaries and delivering high-quality gaming experiences, while remaining committed to its roots and the dedicated community that has supported it throughout its evolution.
