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).
Civilization VII brings a host of exciting changes for longtime fans. Reviewers are largely positive, praising the innovative additions. A key new feature is the Legend system, rewarding players for completing campaigns. This addresses a common issue—many players never finish a full campaign—by incentivizing completion.
While a niche genre, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is undeniably one of the most anticipated strategy games of the year, though it may not reach the stratospheric hype levels of Grand Theft Auto VI. The game is priced at $70, and pre-orders are open now.
