Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition DLC Officially Cancelled

World's Edge cites premature announcement and development challenges as reasons for halting the planned expansion.

World's Edge has cancelled the planned DLC for Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition, initially announced in early 2024.
The studio admitted the announcement was made prematurely before development had begun and later faced delays before the cancellation.
The DLC was expected to include two new civilizations, hinted to be the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Denmark, though these were never officially confirmed.
Despite the cancellation, the game will continue receiving server support, free trial civilization rotations, and customer service assistance.
Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition, released in 2020, remains available with prior DLC expansions, including the 2022 Knights of the Mediterranean pack.
