Immediately after launch, the Age of Empires 3 managed to become one of the bestselling PC games of its time, reaching over 2 million gamers in its first three years on the market.
After two celebrated games and their expansions who focused their visual style on showcasing hundreds and thousands of 2D Sprite-based units, the third game of this franchise moved completely to 3D visuals that were first introduced by the studio in their popular Age of Mythology release from 2002. Age of Empires 3 (also known as Age of Empires III) is a popular real-time strategy developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios on home PCs in 2005.
