As new Age of Wonders 4 DLC unleashes elder vampires, a huge update and free weekend make the 4X game easier to start

It's a great time to start playing Age of Wonders 4, whether you're already a fan of Triumph Studios and Paradox's magical 4X game or have always been tempted to try it. Quietly one of the strategy giant's strongest series, its sense of character rivals the likes of Total War Warhammer 3. Now, the new Age of Wonders DLC, Thrones of Blood, allows you to embody the might of an elder vampire, and it's accompanied by a major overhaul in the form of the Gargoyle update. The latter includes improved onboarding for new players, as well as a free weekend that lets you get a taste of the base game for nothing.
