Civilization VII: On-Track for Scheduled Release

Firaxis Games and 2K have announced that Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, the highly anticipated turn-based 4X strategy game, has gone gold! This means the main development is complete, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the February 11th release date remains firm. Get ready to conquer the world across all modern platforms, including Steam Deck (where it's officially verified).

This new installment brings a host of exciting changes, with reviewers praising the largely beneficial innovations. A key addition is the new Legend system, rewarding players for completing campaigns—a clever solution to address the common issue of unfinished playthroughs in the often lengthy Civilization series.

While a niche genre, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is generating considerable excitement and ranks among the most anticipated games of the year, although it certainly doesn't match the hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are already open.
