Firaxis Games gave Civilization fans their first real look at Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 at Gamescom on Tuesday, showcasing an impressive, globe-spanning, story-spanning fresh installment in the turn-based 4X strategy game series. Firaxis and publisher 2K Games also had some good news for fans who were eager to get their hands on Civilization 7: The premiere is coming soon, as the date of February 11, 2025 was announced during Opening Night Live.
Firaxis promises that players’ decisions will shape the unique cultural lineage of their evolving empires as they take on the roles of legendary historical leaders. “Build cities and architectural wonders to expand your territory, advance your civilization with technological breakthroughs, and conquer or collaborate with rival civilizations as you explore the far reaches of the unknown world,” Firaxis said in the game’s official description. “Strive for prosperity in an immersive solo experience or play with others in online multiplayer.”
More details about Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 will appear soon as part of the official gameplay presentation.
Firaxis will delve deeper into the topic Civilization 7 later this week as part of Xbox’s presence at Gamescom, which will be broadcast from August 21-23.
Civilization 7 will release simultaneously for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, with Firaxis promising players the ability to “build the greatest empire the world has ever known.”
