Recently, over at the Age of Empires official site, there's been a little game. From a sort of game to a quiz where people have won copies of the upcoming Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, there's been a bit to keep fans returning to the site. Recently, the "Have you seen Elric?" game finished, resulting in this page. A page that I'm sure is teasing the reveal of Age of Empires IV's release date.

Why? the page is counting down and if you mix the letters of Elric around, what do you get? That's right, Cleric! Also, Relic. You know the ones, the dev team behind such legendary games as Company of Heroes and Dawn of War, also the developers of the upcoming Age of Empires IV. The timer, at time of writing, is at around 284,500 seconds - approximately 3 days and 3 hours.
