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 is locked in. Get ready to conquer the world across all modern platforms, including Steam Deck (it's verified!).
Civilization VII brings exciting new features for longtime fans, with reviewers praising the mostly beneficial innovations. A standout addition is the new Legend system, rewarding players for completing campaigns. This cleverly addresses the common issue of players not finishing lengthy campaigns in previous iterations.
While a niche genre, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is undeniably one of the most anticipated games of the year, even if it doesn't quite match the hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders are open now, with the game priced at the standard $70.
