Ara History Untold review - Microsoft's grand strategy game is a hit
The one-more-turn compulsion is alive and well. Ara: History Untold is the latest in a smattering of games offering alternatives to Sid Meier's classic formula, like Humankind or Old World. In concept, Ara does not reinvent the wheel. I haven't checked in with Civilization since its fifth entry, but I immediately felt at home with the game's basics. However, the multitude of small and significant differences create something in serious conversation with other grand strategy games. Ara: History Untold is not an outright improvement, neither is it a mere homage. It is worth engaging with on its own terms.

First, wanted to remind you that this is your last chance to take advantage of the pre-order bonuses and discount happening now - including the gilded leader skin collection, as they will no longer be available once the game launches at 8AM PDT on Tuesday, September 24th.
We've begun releasing our short game guide videos discussing and explaining some of the game's features. We're also continuing to post additional videos in our Encarta series, which explores some of the real life history behind the leaders in the game, along with detailed strategy tips and info about how their abilities impact the game.
And finally, we've also now released parts 1 and 2 of our final pre-launch Dev Q&A with Xbox Game Studios Executive Producer Matt Turnbull answering as many launch questions as possible that have popped up in the various places online where folks gather to discuss the game.

Ara History Untold is a 4X game that's "optimistic about history"
While Civilization 7's 2025 launch is some way off, there's plenty of new 4X goodness right on our doorstep. Ara: History Untold, the historical strategy game from Oxide Games and Xbox Game Studios, is just around the corner, and it isn't afraid to step outside the now-familiar standards of the genre established by its rivals. As its launch nears, I sat down with historian and narrative designer Grace Rojas and executive producer Matt Turnbull from Xbox to talk about Ara's deep-rooted love for history and their favorite leaders to play.
