It gets better, though. No only is this an HD remake, but it’s going to incorporate things like Steam Workshop support and Steam multiplayer. That’s right; you can play Age of Empires II HD with all your Steam friends. It’s pretty much the dream come true for everyone that played the game as a child.

The game’s coming exclusively to Steam, and Hidden Path Entertainment‘s picked up development duties now that Ensemble Studios no longer exists. Score one for Valve, though, as the current $19.99 price — discounted to $17.99 until it launches on April 9th — will absolutely line their pockets and then some.
