The Japanese Pantheon
Age of Mythology: Retold – Heavenly Spear unleashes an all-new Japanese pantheon, 12 powerful gods, a new roster of units including ninjas and mythical creatures, and a divine campaign filled with honor, chaos, and celestial power.
What’s waiting in Heavenly Spear:
12 gods from Japanese mythology, each with unique blessings and playstyles
12 new myth units drawn from ancient legends
A 12-mission campaign filled with divine conflict and heroic choices
New god powers, techs, and strategic layers to master
Expanded Skirmish and Arena of the Gods experiences
New Maps, New Units, New Gameplay Mechanics
Unleash the might of 12 new gods—each offering unique playstyles, god powers, and strategic possibilities. Awaken Raijin’s thunderous drums, send whole armies flying across the map with Fujin’s Smiting Gust, or even summon Watatsumi’s swirling dragon typhoon to devastate your enemies. Each Japanese god offers unique ways to dominate the battlefield.
Battle across six new multiplayer and skirmish maps, inspired by the sacred mountains, misty forests, and mythic landscapes of Japanese legend. These maps are more than battlegrounds—they’re living mythologies waiting to be conquered.
Whether facing friends online or perfecting your build orders in solo skirmish, these new environments offer fresh tactical challenges and strategic depth.
Myth units blend iconic Japanese folklore with inventive gameplay mechanics:
Kitsune: fox spirits who serve as scouts and strengthen nearby units, making them perfect for intelligence-gathering and supporting raids.
Shinigami: a terrifying spirit whose shout scares away enemies and who respawns into a more powerful form when defeated.
Tengu: winged master swordsmen who leap into battle. Samurai: skilled human soldiers who become more powerful with every victory.
Shinobi: expert assassins and saboteurs adept at hasty escapes.
Journey from Farmer to Hero: An All-New Campaign
Heavenly Spear follows Yasuko, a peaceful farmer’s daughter whose destiny changes when she discovers a magical spear hidden in the countryside. As war looms and chaos spreads across the land, Yasuko is thrust into a world of gods, monsters, and mortal ambition. With the guidance of Akari, guardian of the spear, Yasuko must uncover the relic’s secrets and prevent it from falling into the hands of Kagemasa, a ruthless warlord who seeks to imprison the sun goddess Amaterasu and claim godhood for himself.
Yasuko’s journey spans 12 hand-crafted campaign missions, each rich with cinematic storytelling, unforgettable characters, and escalating stakes. Along the way, she’ll face mythical beasts, forge divine alliances, battling against Kagemasa to restore balance to the world.
