Age of Empires III "a mistake"

According to a Kotaku Bruce Shelley, founder of Ensemble Studios, Age of Empires 3 was a "big mistake". "With Age of Empires 3, we have tried to implement a series of innovations," said Shelley. "I think it was a big mistake." "We wanted to make a game that was 30% identical to their predecessors, 30% characterized by ideas borrowed from others, and 30% based on innovative ideas.

We tried to do too much." Subsequently, the Ensemble has tried to bring the series to its origins but now the development of Age of Empires 3 had landed at an advanced stage: "It just was not a game of Age of Empires." The study asked Microsoft to remove the label of the brand, but Microsoft would not listen.

In 2009 he was posted to the Most Recent Game Ensemble of the study before closing, Halo Wars. Age of Empires series, however, has been entrusted to Entertainment Robot who will relaunch the brand with a free-to-play game expected by the end of 2011.
