New Age of Mythology screen

Microsoft has released a new screenshot from its upcoming 3D real-time strategy game, Age of Mythology. The game is in development at Ensemble Studios, the developer responsible for the popular Age of Empires real-time strategy series. The new screenshot shows off a nighttime scene featuring a Greek temple.

Age of Mythology will feature a new proprietary 3D engine with advanced visual effects. The game will feature three playable civilizations--the ancient Greeks, the Norse, and the Egyptians--and it will include gods, heroes, and a variety of mythological creatures. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game. Age of Mythology is scheduled for release in spring 2002.
