"The Decisive Games team is focused on world class strategy game development, and is building a studio that will bring the next installment in a beloved strategy game franchise to the next generation of gamers around the world."

 Okay this could be huge! We could be getting a new game in the Age of series, either Empires or Mythology, a sequel to Rise of Nations, or Halo Wars 2. But by the wording of the job posting calling the game they are developing part of a "beloved strategy game franchise" this screams Age of Empires to me. I mean of the Strategy games Microsoft owns AoE is the biggest and most revered. I think they may have been testing the waters with the Age of Empires 2: HD release and Age of Mythology re-release and trying to gauge the interest of the gaming community for another entry in the franchise.

While I want an Age of Empires game I would totally be happy with a Halo Wars 2 coming out on PC. The game being developed is going to see a release both on X-Box One and PC so Halo Wars also makes sense though you would be hard pressed to call it a beloved series like AoE. But ever since the original Halo Wars was released on the 360 I have been dying for a PC release and a sequel may be the next best thing.

So what will it be? Only time will tell but I will be keeping an eye out for announcements by MS.
