Age of Empires 4 also features four different campaigns where players assume the role of an influential leader, develop their kingdom, command the people, and fight “some of the most critical battles of the Middle Ages.” In the Norman campaign, players will rule as William of Normandy with a goal to conquer England as its new king. According to the official website: “What follows is an epic story of succession, family conflict, anarchy, and rebellion — all with the players in the front seat.”
