My first planet and playthrough was playing assembly / fire tech on a medium Pangaea world with no teleporters and everything else set to default I think, total of 6 players set to "hard AI". So no surprise I won by doomsday, without really wanting to. It is now one of the six subsidiaries of the Swedish publisher, which also owns developers like Harebrained Schemes ( Shadowrun), Iceflake Studios ( Surviving the Aftermath), and Playrion Game Studio ( Ariport Simulator).So I just finished my first game (planet), the last 9 turns I didn't actually play because I simply hit "end turn", only checking if any enemies were near my doomsday factories (but they weren't, I fact I didn't really have enemies). In 2017, the studio was acquired by Paradox Interactive for $4.5 million. It was created by Dutch developer Triumph Studios, also known for action RPG with strategy elements Overlord. Crusaders Kings II remains in first place with 141.4k peak CCU, followed by Crusaders Kings III (98.8k) and Hearts of Iron IV (70.9k).Īge of Wonders 4, available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, is the sixth installment in the AoW series that dates back to 1999. The good start also ranks Age of Wonders 4 as the 10th game by peak concurrent players in publisher Paradox Interactive’s catalog. This is the best launch in the history of Triumph Studios on Valve’s platform, above Age of Wonders III (19.4k peal CCU), Age of Wonders: Planetfall (10.4k peak CCU), and Overlord (2.3k peak CCU).

Players also seem to be enjoying the game, as it currently has a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam (79% of 1,321 reviews are positive).Īccording to SteamDB, Age of Wonders 4 peaked at 38,298 concurrent users (CCU).

Launched on May 2, Age of Wonders 4 received positive reviews from critics, with an average score of 83/100 on Metacritic.
