From across the ocean comes a glorious new world pantheon.

Obsidian Mirror introduces the Aztecs to Age of Mythology: Retold in a bold, long-requested expansion that reshapes how gods, mortals, and mythic power collide.

Built for players eager to expand their experience and explore a mythology rarely seen in RTS games, this expansion delivers new gods, mechanics, monsters, and an epic campaign driven by divine rivalry. Aztec mythology introduces themes explored at mythic scale in the RTS, with an emphasis on sacrifice, illusion, and the flow of life and power.

We are thrilled to announce that the next DLC for Age of Mythology: Retold – Obsidian Mirror is available now!

We are very excited to finally bring you the Aztec pantheon. The team put our hearts and souls into this one, and we really hope you enjoy it! Thank you for continuing to support the team and Age of Mythology: Retold!

“Titlateuitin (Tee-tla-teh-WE-teen)” – To Battle!

Aztecs Overview

Take command under three new Major Gods, each offering a distinct playstyle.

• Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, rules as a wise priest-king, accelerating his people with the power of wind while strengthening culture and learning.
• Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror, embraces night, chaos, and sorcery, summoning underworld minions and bending reality through illusion.
• Huitzilopochtli, the god of sun and war, demands sacrifice and devotion, granting devastating power to those willing to give everything in his name.

Expand your divine influence with nine new Minor Gods, each bringing unique god powers, myth units, and strategic depth inspired by Aztec legend. Command deities such as Itzpapalotl, the obsidian butterfly of death and magic. Call upon Tlaloc, master of rain and destruction. Unleash Xolotl, whose corrupt influence twists enemies into monstrous forms.

Brand New Campaign: Obsidian Mirror

Obsidian Mirror introduces Fear and Illusion gameplay, offering new ways to dominate the battlefield. Lay traps, manipulate enemy behavior, harvest life force, and construct towers from fallen foes. At the heart of Aztec power lies Tonalli, the essence of life released in battle. Every fallen warrior will fuel divine Favor and empower your gods, driving your civilization forward. Even your villagers can offer their life force when greater power is needed.

The all-new 12-mission campaign tells an epic story of divine conflict and survival. When the eternal rivalry between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca destroys the utopian city of Aztlan, Huitzilopochtli seizes the moment to lead his people south in search of a new empire. Meanwhile, Tezcatlipoca escapes through his Obsidian Mirror, crossing continents to recruit legendary allies and reclaim his dominance. Gods will clash, alliances will fracture, and the fate of the Aztec people will be decided by blood, belief, and power.

Obsidian Mirror is a dramatic evolution of Age of Mythology: Retold. For fans who have waited years to see the Aztecs rise, and for strategy players drawn to bold mythic themes and inventive mechanics, this expansion delivers a fierce new vision of divine warfare.

Blood and Bones Pack DLC – New Additions

This patch brings some new improvements to make your experience with the Blood and Bones Pack even better! The changes added in this patch include:

• 6 new Red Blood Pool variations to increase variety on the battlefield.
• Darker Red Blood! We saw players’ desire for darker blood, and have changed the shade of the default red blood. You can still swap to the brighter color if you prefer the brighter red by changing the setting.
• Skeletons now support a white variant and the option to switch from red to white after a set period.
• Impact effects showing Blood VFX now appear closer to the target under attack for melee attacks. Reduced from 110% to 80% of each unit radius.
• New modder functions to help spawn blood VFX.
• Added new settings to expand how you can customize your experience with the Blood and Bones DLC.
  • New setting to show Unique Unit Visuals (enabled by default).
  • New setting to show Darker Blood (enabled by default).
  • New setting to control the scale of Blood Pools. Defaults to 100% and can be modified between 5% and 200% scale.
  • New setting to choose Skeleton Color. Defaults to “Dynamic (Bloodied to White)” which starts as bloodied skeletons and then swaps to white after 20 seconds. The alternative options allow you to set skeletons to be “Always Bloodied” or “Always White”.

Unique Unit Variations

Players who own both the Obsidian Mirror DLC and the Blood and Bones Pack DLC can play with bloodied versions of two buildings. You can toggle these in the DLC tab using the “Show Unique Unit Visuals” setting.

Aztec Great Temple

Aztec Tzompantli Tower

New Cheat Unit

Ultimate Fan Pack DLC – New Additions

New additions for players who own the Ultimate Fan Pack DLC include:

• New Golden Statues! Players who also own the Aztec Pantheon can now use Golden Statues with this new Pantheon.
• New Player Icons! You can now use the following additional icons:

Gauntlet – New Additions

The following minor updates have been added to Gauntlet:

• The Aztec Pantheon Major Gods have joined those available to play with and against in the Gauntlet game mode. Newly generated Labyrinths after the patch has launched have an equal random chance compared to other Pantheons to encounter Aztec Pantheons.
• Blessings have been updated to support the Aztec Pantheon. Examples include “Demeter’s Berry Cultivation,” now including Calpulli. And “Odin’s Swarm Tactics” and “Prometheus’ Standardization” now apply to the War Hut.
• Chaos Events and Favor Stash items have been updated to include the new Aztec units.

Stability & Performance

• Minor general improvements to stability.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when spawning blood VFX for the Centaur Volley attack or when units die on water due to an extremely rare division by 0 if the game randomized a specific random number.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur if the spawning of blood pools failed due to missing data.
• Fixed a crash that could occur while loading scenarios if there is an unknown Proto Power ID.
• Updated multithreading on the PS5 to ensure threads were correctly prioritized for performant gameplay.
• Minor improvements to PS5 memory management.
• Fixed a minor bug that caused looping sounds linked to powers to continually add new events without removing older events.
• Fixed a file transfer bug that could have led to instability if some types of file paths were used.
• Speech-To-Text now runs only as a background process if the associated setting is enabled. Previously, this process could cause throttling and performance impacts in some cases.

Localization

• Updates to some translations to improve translation quality.
• Fixed some cases for Turkish where the letter “İ” would be automatically capitalized to “I” in situations where it should remain unchanged.

Graphics

• Fixed a bug that caused Nidhogg to teleport to the ground during its Blazing Strafe attack. Nidhogg will now remain flying above foes at its intended height.
• Fixed some cases where decals using an emissive could flicker.
• Fixed some cases where placement previews for God Powers could show up for unrelated previously cast God Powers.
• Reduced the texture resolution for Blood and Bones Pack Skeletons (2k to 1k textures) as part of improving GPU memory usage.

Audio

• Fixed a bug that caused some icons to be read with the Narrator setting enabled while whispering to other players.
• Minor updates to various sounds to improve consistency and quality.
• Improved the Narration of Friend Requests in the Social Sidebar.
• Fixed a bug that caused duplication of Narration in some situations when playing on Xbox.
• Fixed a bug that caused positional sounds for some God Powers not to work due to a non-functional “positional” attribute.

Hotkeys

• New Hotkeys added:
  • Select All Stealth Units
  • Select All Stealth Units on Screen
  • Select All Ambush Units
  • Select All Amubush Units on Screen
  • Group for Building Construction Aztec bindings.
  • Group for Aztec Town Center Hotkeys
  • Group for Aztec Temple Hotkeys
  • Group for Aztec Dock Hotkeys
  • Hotkeys for the new Technologies.
  • Group for Aztec Unit Hotkeys.
  • Group for Editor Free Cam controls.

UI

• Restoring Default settings during gameplay will no longer reset your selected Language option. The Language setting can only be modified in the Main Menu, so resetting settings to defaults could have left some players unable to fix their language until after they left their current game.
• Fixed a bug that caused hovering over the Lobby Personality field in the Skirmish Lobby to show random strings. The Lobby Personality and Lobby Difficulty settings now show these titles instead of random strings or restating the selected value as a tooltip in the case of Lobby Difficulty.
• The Temple of Demeter now shows the “Set Villager to Gather At” button, consistent with the normal Temple.
• Moved Lykaon Villager in the Village Center and Citadel Center grid UI to be consistent with the Town Center unit train location.
• Cheiroballista’s “Promote to Hero” ability icon now shows the hero version for consistency with how other “Promote to Hero” icons appear.
• Research Rate data effects for technologies now show values on tooltips. This applies to technologies such as “Forge of Olympus” and the new “Burnt Water” technologies.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Harpy to share the same Grid UI cell as the Siren in the Temple of Demeter.
• When the Ultimate Fan Pack DLC is not installed, you will now see a message indicating why the related settings are disabled in the DLC settings tab.
• The “Demeter’s Berry Cultivation” Blessing now correctly shows in its tooltip that it applies to the Watermill.
• Fixed the hard edges seen for some campaign map backgrounds in the main menu.
• Extra free God Power charges granted in some situations, such as during Scenarios, will now show a visual pip icon for each free charge.

Example of two free charges

• New Game Tab settings:
  • Drag-Select Includes Ambush Mode: Toggle this to allow units in Ambush Mode to be selected with other military units when drag-selecting.
  • Select All Includes Ambush Mode: Toggle this to allow units in Ambush Mode to be selected with other military units when selecting all units with a hotkey.
• New Sound Tab settings:
  • Editor Sound On: Toggle on/off unit and background sounds while in editor.
  • Positional Speech: Toggle to enable spatial positioning of unit speech. This affects unit selection and acknowledgment sounds.
• New Controller Tab setting:
  • Quick Find Includes Ambush Mode: Choose whether D-pad Quick Find commands select units that are in Ambush Mode.

Controller

• Fixed a bug that prevented modifying Replay Playback speed while playing with a controller. It is now possible to use the D-Pad during replays to adjust playback speed, down to “Slow 4” and up to “Fast 4”. The control is now consistent with what is possible for Mouse and Keyboard players.
• Minor updates to improve how the Radial Menu displays its available options in some situations.
• Fixed a bug that caused Keyboard and Mouse Hotkeys to show on Passive Abilities in the Controller Radial Menu.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused some self-cast abilities to fail when cast with Shift + Q for group casting. Examples where this fixed the ability to group cast included: Shinobi, Oni, Qiongqi, Sphinx, Roc, Avenger, and Einheri. This fix also ensured that the new Chaneque unit can be converted to their Idol form as a group.
• Trees now update their dynamic selection more frequently after chopping. Previously, tree selection would only update after the tree had disabled physics and forced an update. Sometimes, this update after the trees fell would not happen, resulting in a persistent hitbox that made it appear the tree had not been felled. The hitbox will now update frequently as the tree trunk falls, ensuring a more accurate selection experience.
• Fixed a bug that caused some things to be thrown around by Meteor that are intended to be immovable (e.g., Carnivora could be split up with its arms flying all over the place). All units marked Immovable will no longer be thrown by the Meteor God Power.
• Blood will no longer render on units that are under Fog of War.

Developer Note: The change to no longer render blood on units under Fog of War is primarily to make it a little less obvious when scouted huntable units have been killed by other players. Huntable units will continue to be observable in the same way they have in previous patches. The blood effect made it a little too immediately obvious that something had happened while scrolling around the Fog of War.

• Fixed a bug that caused Demeter’s Deathmatch AI Build Order to think it could age up to Mythic with Hephaestus.
• Hit Effect damage over time now tracks the damaging unit and player to ensure bounty-type effects are correctly awarded.
• Medusa can no longer use Petrification on units abducted by Harpy units. The ability will no longer go on cooldown when failing to cast Petrification on abducted units.

General

• Villagers now all have homing ballistics for their ranged attacks.

                      Greek Pantheon

Myth Units

Hamadryad (Pan): has had the following changes applied:

• The Hamadryad is no longer a valid target for Shifting Sands or Vortex while in tree form. You can still teleport Hamadryads if they are in their non-tree form.

Developer Note: Players in team games were turning the Hamadryad into a weapon of mass destruction that could be teleported into the middle of armies. The Hamadryad is intended to excel at surprise attacks with its Ambush, but the ability to teleport that Ambush attack exceeded the intended goals for the unit.

• When not in tree form, the Shifting Sands will now reset Hamadryad’s ability cooldowns.

Developer Note: Resetting the ability timer makes it harder to use a timed attack with Shifting Sands.

• Hamadryads will no longer transform when an abducted unit is flown over them.
• Hamadryads will no longer damage abducted units until they start to fall if their Ambush attack triggers from other units entering their range.

Developer Note: Harpy units could fly Abducted units over Hamadryads to trigger an instant kill. The Area of Effect attack for Ambush is not intended to hit flying units.

                    Japanese Pantheon

Major Gods

Tsukuyomi

• New Moon (God Power): When using New Moon on a building that is actively researching technologies, the active research will resume automatically at the same progress, provided it was not selected for free instant research by the God Power.

Standard Map Set Updated

• Removed Anatolia, Blue Lagoon, Megalopolis, and Snake Dance.
• Added Cloud Forest, Mirage, Obsidian Ridge, and Watering Hole.

Quick Match Map Set Updated

• Removed Blue Lagoon, Megalopolis, and Snake Dance.
• Added Cloud Forest, Obsidian Ridge, and Watering Hole.

Bug Fixes

New Maps Added for Obsidian Mirror DLC

5 new maps added as part of Obsidian Mirror and are available to players who own the DLC!

Blood River Crossing

A sacred river splits the map, with its central crossing forming a contested chokepoint perfect for ambushes and surprise attacks. Huntable animals are plentiful, but gold and wood are scattered across the land.

Cloud Forest

A mist-shrouded mountain rainforest lies along the Aztecs’ migration route, consisting of steep paths and dense canopy. Hidden caves and narrow passes create natural chokepoints, with elevated vistas and hidden caves offering ambush points.

Obsidian Ridge

A rugged highland plateau teeming with Gold and Wood, where narrow passages funnel movement toward the center, inviting conflict to claim its riches. Dense forests, rocky outcrops, and sheer cliffs create strong defensive positions but make navigation perilous, while scarce Food demands careful planning and strategic control of the terrain.

Temple of the Jaguar Moon

Hidden deep within the jungle, a forgotten temple rises amid thick canopy and winding, narrow paths, protected by natural chokepoints, traps, and prowling wildlife. Controlling the temple grants a trickle of favor and expansive vision over the surrounding terrain, but limited open space prevents players from constructing support buildings around the prize.

Valley of the Sun Serpent

Hidden between mountain peaks, this fertile valley is believed to be touched by Quetzalcoatl’s divine favor. Gold is plentiful, and power is within reach, yet Wood is rare, demanding careful planning from those who seek to claim it.

• Many new units, models, and effects to play with in the Editor.

• There are now new object total summaries in the Editor debug view that can be opened with Objects > Model Visuals Debug. These show totals in the current scenario, both overall and per player. These can be used as a performance metric in scenarios with many unit objects.

  • Try Select: Will attempt to select the unit in the world.
  • Try Select All Of Proto (Per Player in Render Only): Will at least try to select the current unit and then also select all other proto units that match the same ProtoUnit ID and Player ID. This can be useful for finding small objects while editing scenarios.

• Copy-Paste functionality in the Editor now supports Water with a checkbox to selectively include it.
• New finer Terrain Elevation control available in the Editor when using Copy-Paste functionality.
• Fixed the Turn to Face Unit Trigger not activating the specified trigger on completion if one was set.

• Improved the behavior of sorting of Triggers when importing Triggers.

• Triggers will now automatically retain links to Camera Tracks when they are renamed.
• Fixed a bug where games could end while in the Editor.

  • Player: Unit Use Action On Other Unit

  • void trUnitSetVisualPropertyTerrainProperties(int terrainVFXAppearanceTypeID, int terrainVFXTintColor, float terrainVFXWaterBillboardBias): Sets volatile visual properties that affect VFX on selected units. terrainVFXAppearanceTypeID should be 0+ for DefaultTerrain variations or -1 or lower for DefaultWater variations. terrainVFXTintColor is casted from a signed int to a DWORD Terrain Default is 0xFF7F7F7F and Water default is 0xFF6B50C4.
  • void trUnitSetVisualPropertyScaleWithModelTransform(): Sets volatile visual properties that affect VFX on selected units. This will cause VFX to scale based on the adjustment transform and any other scale applied to the units. This may look incorrect for any effects that have not been authored to scale correctly.
