Firaxis Games, in collaboration with publisher 2K, has exciting news for strategy game enthusiasts: Sid Meier’s Civilization VII has officially gone gold. This milestone signals that the core development of the game is complete, paving the way for its release on February 11 without any further delays, barring any unexpected issues. The latest installment in the legendary series is not only Steam Deck verified but will also be accessible on all modern gaming platforms, ensuring a wide reach among fans.
Civilization VII brings a fresh wave of innovations to the table, which have been largely well-received by reviewers. One of the standout features is the new Legend system, designed to reward players for completing campaigns. This addition is particularly significant given the lengthy nature of the series' campaigns, which often see players dropping off before the end. The Legend system aims to boost completion rates by offering enticing bonuses.
While it may not generate the same level of buzz as a title like Grand Theft Auto VI, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII remains one of the most eagerly awaited games of the year within its dedicated community. Priced at a standard $70, the game is now available for pre-order, inviting fans to secure their copy ahead of the February release.
