Age of Empires IV spans the globe, and it’s only right that the soundtrack should too. We are strong believers that music breathes life into games, and if it did for you when playing Age of Empires IV we hope you’ll nominate us for Best Soundtrack for Age of Empires IV at the Steam Awards by clicking the button above!
To bring our game to life, we worked with composers, musicians and voice actors from all over the world to bring you a truly global soundtrack that immersed you in the civilizations you control. That each civilization features unique music, instruments and soundscapes that authentically capture the spirit of their gameplay is part of what makes Age IV so real.
The soundtrack is also highly responsive, advancing with you through the ages and reacting to the action on the map – calm and tranquil while you manage your peaceful farms, turning tense with evolving layers when the clouds of war stain the horizon. Additionally, as a civilization progresses through the ages, so too does its audio. Music scores become more refined seeing additional instruments and new techniques layered in, with in-game unit dialogue mirroring this evolution and approaching a more modern form of speaking.
As you have your say on how the games of 2021 compare, we hope you’ll consider Age IV’s music worthy of the Best Soundtrack trophy – and we’d also love your support in the Game of the Year as well!
Wololo!
The Age of Empires IV Team
