To continue accessing the multiplayer services: We have created a patch that points to a new backend owned by Microsoft that you must manually install prior to September 1, 2021. The critical factor driving this change is that the ESO domain on which this multiplayer service currently resides is no longer under Microsoft’s control and it will be repurposed by its new owners on that date. The rest of the update that came with the mod, however, will be staying indefinitely.About This Game Effective September 1, 2021, the multiplayer service for the 2007 version of Age of Empires III: Complete Collection currently on Steam will no longer function. The mod will end about two weeks into the New Year on January 14th, 2020.

The event doesn’t add anything new mechanically to the game, serving purely as an update. But not every update is about improving the way the game runs mechanically some, like the 2019 Winter Celebration Event that just began, are purely for fun.
