Microsoft has licensed Age of Empires for the iOS and Android platforms, and will release it sometime in 2013.
The ports are said to be arriving via mobile developer KLab, who were granted the license from Microsoft.
Its speculated that Microsoft will be bringing more of its game library to the mobile platforms, however, the company has downplayed the rumours of more releases.
“Some reports included incorrect information about additional Xbox Live-based games on iOS and Android but there are no further announcements beyond Age of Empires at this time,” said a Microsoft representative.
