Gamescom Opening Night Live host Geoff Keighley announced the first game to appear on the live event stage at the expo on August 20, 2024: it’s Civilization VII. Keighley first revealed the game during Summer Games Festivaland now the first presentation of the gameplay will take place at the fair in Cologne.
That same day, two and a half hours into the Gamescom Opening Night Live show, Firaxis Games will present a 20-minute in-depth look at the developers. The team will share “exclusive insights” into “this revolutionary new chapter in the series, including our vision for the game, as well as its innovative new features. If you want everything Civilization VII, you have to see it live!” Next up will be a Civilization VII booth at Gamescom — although it’s unclear if the game will actually be playable — and then a panel hosted by Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller at PAX West on August 31, 2024.
Firaxis Games concluded: “August is just the first step on our journey. Thank you for being the best fans in the world. We can’t wait to show you Civilization VII and play another round together.” The seventh installment is confirmed for PS5 and PS4, with a release date of next year.
