March of Empires switches to Unreal Engine

March of Empires unveils its biggest evolution yet with 3D environments and enhanced graphics, following last month's high-profile addition of Hafthor "The Mountain" Bjornsson.

Massive Technical Upgrade for the Strategy Classic

Gameloft has rebuilt March of Empires using Unreal Engine, delivering:

• Fully 3D battlefields with crisp visual details
• 70% more efficient server performance for large-scale events
• 3x faster update cycles for new content
• Preserved core strategic gameplay mechanics

The transition marks a new era for the medieval strategy title, offering deeper immersion while maintaining the empire-building experience players know. Combat now provides clearer tactical feedback, and the upgraded technology enables more customization options in future updates.

Expanded Possibilities with Faster Development

The switch to Unreal Engine removes previous technical limitations, allowing:

• More frequent content updates
• Enhanced customization features in development
• Improved performance for global alliance battles

While the visuals and infrastructure receive this massive upgrade, the core competitive gameplay remains unchanged. Players still:

• Lead unique factions in territorial conquest
• Compete for strategic Seats of Power
• Command powerful armies and Champions like Hafthor
• Engage in real-time world map warfare

March of Empires is available as a free download with optional in-app purchases. Visit the official website for complete details on this landmark update and join the enhanced medieval warfare experience today.
