The planned DLC for Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition has been cancelled, developer World’s Edge has announced.
In a message posted on the game’s website, the studio says it was a decision that “was not made lightly.” They said that when the announcement of the DLC was made, it was done so “prematurely”.
“While considering the inclusions for last year’s show, we wanted to ensure that Age III: DE players felt part of the franchise celebration as we know you have huge passion and love for the game,” they said. “However, pushing to ensure that the game was included meant we announced content before it had been built…
“We know that this is a huge disappointment, and many of you were excited for more content. We were able to put out a patch for the game towards the end of last year but understand that it was not the size and scope you were hoping for.”

Despite the DLC no longer happening, World’s Edge says that it will continue to maintain the game’s servers as well as rotate available civilizations in the game’s free trial. There’s also the currently available DLC that was released over the last few years for those who want more than the base game.
