Age of Empires IV’s closed beta is over, but Relic and World’s Edge are interested in running another one, provided “everything comes together.” Creative director Adam Isgreen tells us during an interview at Gamescom that there is interest in running another beta, though it's still in discussion.
“I don’t have anything concrete to share,” he says, “[but] it is something that we’re interested in doing. When you make a beta build, it’s always a frozen moment in time but it doesn’t stop the progress of the game.”
Isgreen mentions that the version of the game that was provided for the beta – which started on August 5 and ended just before Gamescom – was nearly a month old by the time the testing period started. “There's been a lot of changes that have happened since,” he explains, “balancing, new features, and all kinds of things.” When we’ll get another one though is a matter of timing, and choosing the right moment, Isgreen explains: “If everything comes together, and we can find another perfect freeze point – we’re working on figuring out where we can make that happen.”
