Forgotten Empires and SkyBox Labs have announced a new batch of downloadable content for Age of Empires II.

You read that right – the HD remaster of the classic real-time strategy game is getting the “Rise of the Rajas” DLC next week, on December 19th.

The new content brings with it four voiced campaigns, new civilizations (Burmese, Khmer, Malay, Vietnamese), mangrove forests, the imperial skirmisher, and even the battle elephants.

Here’s a rundown on the various new civilizations in Rise of the Rajas:

• Burmese – Assemble the largest empire in the history of Southeast Asia through a legion of Battle Elephants that can demolish the most powerful of defenses. The Burmese unique unit is the Arambai, a ranged cavalry unit with a deadly but low accuracy attack.
• Khmer – Construct the largest religious monument in the world and amass an immortal army of devastating siege weapons. The Khmer unique unit is the Ballista Elephant, a mounted scorpion that can be upgraded to fire two bolts simultaneously.
• Malay – Conquer Southeast Asia with the vast island empire of Malay and upgrade your docks to harbours which can shoot arrows. The Malay unique unit is the Karambit Warrior, an extremely cheap infantry unit that can quickly overwhelm its foes.
• Vietnamese – Lead your people to independence and wage guerilla warfare with an extremely powerful arsenal of ranged units. The Vietnamese unique unit is the Rattan Archer, a heavily-armored ranged unit that is effectively impervious to enemy archer attacks.

Skybox Labs put out an expansion for the game around this time last year, dubbed the “African Kingdoms” DLC. You can read more about that here.
