In any case, great importance will be given to PvP, with ranked matches and competitive seasons, with the first one that will debut during the spring of next year.

Once the balance is perfected we will open up more and more to the competitive scene, for example starting to activate the seasons (the first will debut in the spring) and further refine the ranked matches. Whether or not to push Age of Empires IV as a product of eSport, it will depend a lot on how it will be received by the public, if communities start to form about it ", the words of Duffy.
