Back in 2022, the Age of Empires team World's Edge revealed it would be releasing Age of Mythology: Retold - a "definitive edition" of the 2002 PC title with "upgraded graphics, features and more".
Now, in a "sneak peek" announcement, it's been confirmed this new version of the game will be coming not only to Game Pass "day one" on PC but also to Xbox Series X|S in 2024.
Here's a bit about Retold (via the game's Steam page) along with a look:
