Co-op has finally arrived in Age of Empires 3.
Players can now band together to experience “story-driven historical narratives and objectives”, including all the same gameplay you know “but tailored for the cooperative experiences”, as well as fully-voiced dialogue and enemy AI that can take on two opponents instead of just one.

Up until now, players could only enjoy the game together via competitive multiplayer – there was no co-operative play at all.
“The new Co-Op Historical Battles are now available, bringing a co-operative multiplayer experience to the vivid historical and objective-based content you love, now with a friend,” the development team exclaimed in its latest Steam update, confirming that your co-op buddy doesn’t have to own the DLC to get involved.
