We are honored to have this opportunity to describe a Chinese civilization as a Chinese developer, and to have the opportunity to introduce our Chinese mythology, culture, stories and ancient civilization to the world. This is a very proud thing, because the Chinese mythology has so much content that we can explore and deliver to the world as a unique culture. Our team immersed themselves in the illustrious epochs of Chinese history, endeavoring to bring to life its formidable military units and their distinctive artistic expressions. We have woven the fervor and curiosity for history which ignited our imaginations in our youth, into Immortal Pillars.

Adding such a rich culture as China to the game deserves an equally rich portrayal, to which we were glad to apply our experience and narrative, visual, and gameplay expertise as longtime passionate game developers. Immortal Pillars is an homage to Chinese history and mythology; to the Age of Empires franchise as a whole; and, most importantly, to our global player base. We hope Immortal Pillars brings you all the same joy it brought us, and, as ever, we appreciate your continued passion for this incredible franchise!
