Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition Patch Adds Co-op Mode

A new patch for Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition has been released. The update added a co-op mode, where we can play through twelve historical battles.

A new update for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition has been released. The biggest highlight of the patch is the addition of a co-op mode.

How co-op works in AoE3: DE

  1. Co-op enables two players to play together.
  2. Co-op is available for historical battles.
  3. In the case of historical battles from DLCs, it is sufficient that one player in the group owns the DLC in question for the rest of the co-op participants to be able to take part in the game.
  4. The AI in each battle has been appropriately modified so that it can engage in effective combat against two human opponents.

Battles available in co-op mode

There are twelve battles available in the co-op mode. Six of them come from the basic version of Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition and the rest from the expansions.

Battles from the base game:

  1. Algiers (1516)
  2. Christopher Da Gama's Expedition (1542)
  3. Chuvash Cape (1582)
  4. Raid on the Caribbean (1586)
  5. Fort Duquesne (1754)
  6. Battle of New Orleans (1815)

Battles that require the The African Royals expansion:

  1. The Battle of the Three Kings (1578)
  2. The Fall of the Hausa (1804)
  3. The Era of the Princes (1855)

Battles requiring the United States Civilization expansion:

  1. The Burning of the USS Philadelphia (1803)

Battles that require the Mexico Civilization expansion:

  1. Grito de Dolores (1810)

Battles that require both United States Civilization and Mexico Civilization:

  1. Battle of Queenston Heights (1812)

It is worth mentioning that recently new attractions for co-op fans appeared in another remaster from this franchise - Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. The patch released a few days ago added two co-op campaigns and an event focusing on this mode.
