Age of Mythology: Retold – Japanese pantheon enters the game

Following the last DLC, which put Chinese mythology in the spotlight, Heavenly Spear now focuses on the legends and gods of the Land of the Rising Sun. Players can expect a deeply rooted, multifaceted pantheon that has its roots in Shintoism and has also been influenced by Buddhism.

The world of the kami

The focus is on the kami – spirits and deities that embody natural phenomena, places or abstract forces. Since there are millions of them, both local and supraregional, there is enormous scope for mythological diversity. Unlike in the Abrahamic religions, kami are not clearly defined in moral terms – which makes their portrayal in the game particularly exciting.

Important deities

At the top is Amaterasu, the sun goddess and mythical ancestor of the imperial family. Her brothers are Tsukuyomi, god of the moon, and Susanoo, the stormy god of the sea and storms. Other central figures include Inari, goddess of rice fields, fertility and foxes, as well as the weather gods Raijin (thunder) and Fujin (wind). Hachiman, the guardian god of warriors, also plays an important role – he was later even associated with the Buddha Amida in Buddhism.

The coexistence of Shinto shrines with their typical torii gates and Buddhist temples continues to shape the Japanese religious landscape to this day – and flows into the DLC as an atmospheric element.

Heavenly Spear Features

The new DLC expands Age of Mythology: Retold with:

  • 12 new gods, each with their own strategies and powers
  • 12 new units from Japanese folklore, including foxes, shinobi and tengu
  • An extensive campaign with 12 missions that showcase divine conflicts and heroic decisions
  • New divine powers that can significantly influence the flow of the game
  • 6 additional multiplayer and skirmish maps inspired by sacred mountains and mist-shrouded forests

Age of Mythology: Retold - Heavenly Spear opens a new chapter that not only brings a breath of fresh air to the game, but also delves deeply into Japanese mythology. So if you've always wanted to join Amaterasu or Susanoo in battle, this is the perfect opportunity. Players will be able to jump into the brand new DLC when it launches on September 30th.
