Age of Empires fans, rejoice! The legendary Red Bull Wololo is back after a two-year hiatus, bringing intense competition and nostalgic excitement to the game.
The Return of the Iconic Age of Empires Tournament
The famous Age of Empires tournament series from Red Bull Gaming has made its highly anticipated return with Red Bull Wololo: El Reinado, following a two-year break. This year, 14 players will compete across four Age of Empires titles for a combined prize pool of $196,000.
The competition will feature four games from the franchise: the classic Age of Empires I and Age of Empires II, the latest title Age of Empires IV, and the newly remastered Age of Mythology: Retold.
The tournament will run from October 3-6, set in a location fit for a professional Age of Empires showdown — the Castle of Almodóvar del Río, a Roman fortress turned Arab-Muslim castle located in Córdoba, Spain.
A Legacy Reborn in Esports
Red Bull Wololo: El Reinado marks the return of this iconic tournament series to the Age of Empires esports scene, following the last event, Red Bull Wololo: Legacy, held in Heidelberg, Germany, and Hanoi, Vietnam, in October 2022. The competitive scene is stronger than ever, and fans can expect high-level gameplay across all four featured titles.
Who’s Competing in Red Bull Wololo: El Reinado?
For Age of Empires I, Age of Empires IV, and Age of Mythology: Retold, two players will compete in each game, while Age of Empires II will see eight top players battle it out.
Despite being released in 1999, Age of Empires II remains the most popular title in the franchise, largely thanks to the excellent Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. As a result, the game enjoys the most vibrant esports scene in the Age of Empires franchise.
