The Fertile Crescent 2, a real-time strategy game inspired by Age of Empires, is now available in its final form, having previously been available in an early access format. The game was developed by Wield Interactive and published by MicroProse.

The release of the 1.0 version of the game includes the concluding chapters of the single-player narrative, as well as access to the map editor that developers utilized to create the campaign.

The premise of The Fertile Crescent 2 is based on the Late Bronze Age Collapse, a period of turmoil that occurred when the Sea People, an amalgamation of various ocean-going migrants, arrived and disrupted the stability of Bronze Age civilizations. Although the exact identity of the Sea People is still debated, they are often associated with the decline of the Hittites, among other powerful Bronze Age societies.
