Civilization VII Expected On-Time Release

Firaxis Games and 2K have officially announced that Sid Meier's Civilization VII, the highly anticipated turn-based 4X strategy game, has gone gold. This milestone signifies the completion of primary development, virtually guaranteeing a timely release on February 11th. The game boasts Steam Deck verification and will launch across all major platforms.

Civilization VII introduces several exciting updates for longtime fans, with reviewers largely praising the innovative changes. A notable addition is the new Legend system, designed to incentivize players to complete campaigns by offering bonuses for doing so. This addresses the common issue of unfinished campaigns due to the series' lengthy gameplay.

While a niche genre, Sid Meier's Civilization VII is among the year's most eagerly awaited titles, although its level of anticipation doesn't quite match the massive hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are currently open.
