A remastered version of Age of Empires [wikipedia.org] is being released for the game's 20th anniversary [polygon.com]:

Microsoft is updating the game for 2017 with a modernized interface and gameplay refinements. In addition, said Isgreen, "We've re-orchestrated and re-recorded the entire soundtrack to the game" with a symphony. Multiplayer will be available via Xbox Live. Microsoft previously remastered 1999's Age of Empires 2 — that upgrade, Age of Empires 2 HD, was released in 2013 on Steam [polygon.com]. Forgotten Empires, the studio that developed Age of Empires 2 HD, is also making [forgottenempires.net] the Definitive Edition of Age of Empires.
