Publisher 2K and studio Firaxis Games announced great news for those who are waiting for the release of historical 4X-strategy Sid Meier's Civilisation VII.

Here's What We Know

The developers reported that the new part of the famous series has gone "to gold", which means that it will definitely be released on the appointed date - 11 February 2025.

Sid Meier's Civilisation VII will be available on MS, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch - it will be the first installment to be released simultaneously on PC and consoles. By the way, the strategy will immediately get Destiny of nations on the couch: Sid Meier's Civilisation VII will get full Steam Deck compatibility on release day.

Flashback

Civilisation VII will be the largest game in the series. In terms of visual style, the strategy is in the middle between the realism of the fifth part and the cartoonishness of the sixth. For the first time in Sid Meier's Civilisation, the player will control not a whole nation, but a separate chain of states, which he (the nation) formed during its history. They change after the end of each historical epoch - this mechanic should diversify gameplay and encourage players to complete games more often, rather than starting new ones each time.

Civilisation VII will feature three time eras: Antiquity, Age of Discovery, and the present day, and each stage offers players different goals, priorities, features, and gameplay options. The leader of a nation can become not only a military man or a politician, now this option will be available to scientists, philosophers and other representatives of the intellectual community.
