Forgotten Empires is a video game development studio best known for creating the Age of Empires series' definitive editions. The company has led the development of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Age of Empires IV on PC, and has also contributed to Age of Empires: Mobile. With offices in Cincinnati and Austin in the US, the studio works closely with Microsoft's World's Edge studio on the classic real-time strategy franchise.

Company History

Forgotten Empires was founded in 2012 by a small team of modders who created the popular Age of Empires II expansion 'Forgotten Empires' as a fan project. Their work caught the attention of Microsoft and the team was officially contracted to produce expansions for the series, eventually leading to the Definitive Edition remasters. The company has since grown into a professional studio working on multiple projects within the Age of Empires franchise.

For International Professionals

  • The company offers fully remote positions for some roles, providing flexibility for international professionals.
  • While its global headquarters are in the United States, the company has expanded hiring to remote-friendly roles around the world.
  • As the studio works on long-running RTS franchises, there is potential for long-term contracts with a well-known IP.
  • The remote-friendly roles require strong self-management and communication skills, as teams are split across time zones.
  • The company culture is rooted in a community and modding background, so a passion for games and modding is valued.
