Age of Wonders 4 expansion pass 2 launches for PC and consoles

As a seasoned strategy game enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say, the latest expansion pass for Age of Wonders 4 has me utterly thrilled! The prospect of new content, societies, and cultures to explore is simply exhilarating.


Just announced by Paradox Interactive, the second extension for Age of Wonders 4 is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.

The new expansion pass will include four content releases in a single bundle, and the first one is called “Herald of Glory”, which will be available right away. The other three pieces of content will be released over the “coming months”, and will also be sold separately in case there’s just one that takes your fancy. The Age of Wonders 4 Expansion Pass 2 bundle will cost $49.99 / £41.99 / €49.99.

Upon acquiring Expansion Pass 2, you can instantly download and play the fresh “Herald of Glory” expansion for Age of Wonders 4. This addition offers exclusive items and a novel society attribute that lets you rule the Astral Sea with an elegant flair.

In November 2024, the upcoming feature for Expansion Pass 2 is titled “Ways of War.” This exciting new content will be accessible on all platforms. With “Ways of War,” players will have the opportunity to tackle conflicts in fresh and innovative ways thanks to the introduction of the Oathsworn Culture, the navigation of challenging Intrigue Events, and the use of potent magic tomes. The expansion can be purchased individually for a retail price* of $14.99, £12.79, or €14.99, or it will be offered free of charge to those who already own Expansion Pass 2.

Here’s some features for the second piece of content, Ways of War:

  • The Oathsworn Culture, based on unique warrior codes that provide rewards to those strong enough to adhere to their ethos. Swear the Oath of Righteousness to focus on annihilating evil, the Oath of Strife to wage war only against the strong and worthy, or the Oath of Harmony to try and avoid war whenever possible.
  • Intrigue Events that threaten your empire, focused on dishonorable crises like betrayals and assassinations.
    Two new forms, allowing players to lead empires of strong Simians and lumbering Ogrekin.
  • Four New Tomes, granting rulers the arts of Discipline, Shades, Calamity, and Prosperity, each adding new units alongside spells of inner strength, outward destruction, and more.
  • So Much More, from new mounts to new music, new ancient creature lines, new realm templates and an interface skin and beyond!

Additional details are emerging regarding the third and fourth items in the content series, as outlined below:

  • Giant Kings: Restore the Elder Giants to their rightful place as masters of the Astral Sea! Delve deep beneath the surface for ancient treasure, wield long-forgotten crystal magic, and discover the powers of a fallen empire. This expansion includes a new Giant ruler type, adds new dwellings and hand-crafted map regions to the game, and will launch in Q2 2025. It will be available separately for a suggested retail price*of $19.99/£16.99/€19.99.
  • Archon Prophecy: The forces of light are yours to command in a grand war against the corruption of Urrath. Consult the oracles to shape both your own fate and the fate of the realms through hidden prophecies. Includes a new culture, new prophecy events, and new story content, launching in Q3 2025. It will be available separately for a suggested retail price of $19.99/£16.99/€19.99.
