Vancouver, Canada – July 17th, 2015 – Microsoft Games Studios, in partnership with developer Smoking Gun Interactive, announce today that Age of Empires: Castle Siege is coming to Windows 10 and is available today globally on the App Store for iPhone 4s + and iPad 2+,  Fans who already have the game on Windows 8.1 will now be able to play against opponents on iOS, and vice versa, opening up Castle Siege to many more castle raids and fans.

Age of Empires: Castle Siege is a cross-platform real-time strategy game that allows players to build and guide an empire through the Medieval Era. Players choose from one of several civilizations, including the Britons, Teutons, and Kievan Rus, and then upgrade their keep, fortify walls and garrison defensive troops to protect from marauders. Then they must train an army to raid other cities, and command them in battle to dismantle opponents’ defenses. Allowing players to control all the units at any time, creates a much deeper, more interactive gameplay experience than other titles in the genre.  Through the ages, players build their castle, research technology, and recruit a variety of powerful heroes including Saladin, Richard the Lionheart, and Joan of Arc. By outsmarting attackers and overwhelming defenders, gamers can earn achievements and climb to the top of the leaderboards.
