We’ll have two dedicated previews of the new Myth Units coming to Age of Mythology: Retold with the Heavenly Spear expansion, so keep your eye out for the sneak peek coming soon!

Myth units blend iconic Japanese folklore with inventive gameplay mechanics:
  • Kitsune: fox spirits who serve as scouts and strengthen nearby units, making them perfect for intelligence-gathering and supporting raids.
  • Shinigami: a terrifying spirit whose shout scares away enemies and who respawns into a more powerful form when defeated.
  • Tengu: winged master swordsmen who leap into battle.

[h2]New Game Mechanic: Bushido[/h2]

In Age of Mythology: Retold, all Japanese soldiers generate ‘XP’ in battle, fuelling the Bushido meter. Elite warriors trained at the Dojo—such as Samurai, and Shinobi—gain ‘XP’ faster, and even contribute passively outside of combat.

Each tier of Bushido grants free line upgrades (Medium, Heavy, or Champion) for your human soldiers, regardless of which Age you are currently in. These upgrades can also be researched normally – at a reduced cost, with the discount scaling based on your progress toward the next tier.

Advancing a tier in Bushido will also provide a unique bonus from your Major God:
  • Amaterasu: Provides increasing gold trickle per tier.
  • Tsukuyomi: Increases Cavalry and Shinobi attack power per tier.
  • Susanoo: Grants an immediate Favor reward upon reaching each tier.


[h2]New Maps, New Units, New Gameplay[/h2]


Unleash the might of 12 new gods—each offering unique playstyles, god powers, and strategic possibilities. Awaken Raijin’s thunderous drums, send whole armies flying across the map with Fujin’s Smiting Gust, or even summon Watatsumi’s swirling dragon typhoon to devastate your enemies. Each Japanese god offers unique ways to dominate the battlefield.

Battle across six new multiplayer and skirmish maps, inspired by the sacred mountains, misty forests, and mythic landscapes of Japanese legend. These maps are more than battlegrounds—they’re living mythologies waiting to be conquered.

Whether facing friends online or perfecting your build orders in solo skirmish, these new environments offer fresh tactical challenges and strategic depth.

[h2]Journey from Farmer to Hero: An All-New Campaign[/h2]


Heavenly Spear follows Yasuko, a peaceful farmer’s daughter whose destiny changes when she discovers a magical spear hidden in the countryside. As war looms and chaos spreads across the land, Yasuko is thrust into a world of gods, monsters, and mortal ambition. With the guidance of Akari, guardian of the spear, Yasuko must uncover the relic’s secrets and prevent it from falling into the hands of Kagemasa, a ruthless warlord who seeks to imprison the sun goddess Amaterasu and claim godhood for himself.

Yasuko’s journey spans 12 hand-crafted campaign missions, each rich with cinematic storytelling, unforgettable characters, and escalating stakes. Along the way, she’ll face mythical beasts, forge divine alliances, battling against Kagemasa to restore balance to the world.
