Age of Empires IV: Yue Deis Legacy DLC | Steam

Relive the legacy of General Yue Fei with a new 8-mission campaign, the Jin Dynasty civilization, four maps, and new strategies for Age of Empires IV

Defend the Song dynasty through the story of Yue Fei

Age of Empires IV: Yue Fei's Legacy is an expansion for Age of Empires IV, developed by World's Edge, Forgotten Empires, Relic Entertainment, and Climax Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios, released on May 7, 2026.

The DLC tells the story of Yue Fei, the renowned Song dynasty general who fought against the advance of the Jin dynasty during the Song-Jin wars.

When the north falls and the Song imperial court is captured, Yue Fei and commander Han Shizhong must protect a young prince in flight, gather new forces, and prevent the complete collapse of the dynasty.

The campaign combines historical battles, survival, defense, and moments of intense political tension, showing how danger can come not only from the battlefield but also from within the imperial court itself.

Take on a new campaign made up of 8 missions

The narrative core of Yue Fei's Legacy is a new 8-mission single-player campaign set in medieval China.

The missions follow Yue Fei’s military rise and the struggle of the Song dynasty against the Jin invaders.

During the campaign, you will face very different scenarios, including:

• Battles along the Yellow River
• Operations against bandits in mountainous regions
• Defense of Song forces
• Retreats and military regrouping
• Conflicts tied to the imperial court
• Battles against numerically superior armies

Each scenario introduces specific objectives and mechanics, avoiding a simple sequence of standard skirmishes.

The narrative is accompanied by professional voice acting and specially created illustrated sequences that tell the story of Yue Fei’s journey.

Command the new Jin Dynasty civilization

The expansion introduces the Jin Dynasty as a new playable civilization.

The faction is designed around a mobile economy, cavalry, and powerful siege options.

Its main features include:

• Mounted Villagers
• Emissaries
• Horse Grasslands
• Meng'an Mouke Keeps
• Exclusive military units
• Dedicated technologies
• Civilization-specific Masteries

Emissaries can capture neutral settlements and transform them into Tributaries, generating economic and military advantages.

Horse Grasslands can instead be integrated with military structures to improve production and support a highly mobile army.

The Jin Dynasty can be used in custom games, Skirmish, Quick Match, and Ranked by players who own the expansion.

Deploy Iron Pagoda, Mounted Grenadiers, and Eruptors

The Jin Dynasty features several exclusive units that significantly change the way battles can be approached.

These include:

• Iron Pagoda
• Mounted Grenadiers
• Eruptors
• Bed Crossbows

Iron Pagoda units form a powerful heavy cavalry force, especially effective when used for charges and direct engagements.

Mounted Grenadiers combine mobility with explosive capabilities, allowing you to strike enemy formations quickly.

Eruptors add further offensive power, while Bed Crossbows provide different options against specific units and structures.

The combination of a mobile economy, cavalry, and specialized units makes the Jin Dynasty well suited to aggressive strategies, but it requires careful management of production and positioning.

Use Emissaries, Tributaries, and a mobile economy

One of the most distinctive elements of the new civilization is its economic system.

Emissaries can expand Jin influence by capturing neutral settlements and creating a network of Tributaries.

These settlements can provide benefits to economic and military growth, creating a structure different from the more traditional economies of other civilizations.

Mounted Villagers further increase mobility, allowing the civilization to react quickly to the needs of the match.

Meng'an Mouke Keeps instead add elements focused on automated defense and territorial control.

The civilization can therefore combine economic expansion, military production, and map control, rewarding players who use mobility and pressure in a coordinated way.

Fight on four new maps and two new biomes

Yue Fei's Legacy also expands Skirmish and multiplayer with four new maps.

The new environments are:

• Ascension
• Fangs
• Snake River
• West Lake

These maps are accompanied by two new biomes, adding further visual variety to battles.

Different terrain layouts change access routes, resources, and expansion opportunities, requiring different strategies depending on the selected map.

The maps can be used in compatible game modes, and some may temporarily appear in public map pools even for players who do not own the expansion.

The Jin Dynasty itself, however, can only be directly selected by owners of Yue Fei's Legacy.
