Firaxis Games and publisher 2K have exciting news for fans of the iconic turn-based 4X strategy series: Sid Meier’s Civilization VII has officially gone gold. This milestone signifies that the core development of the game is complete, paving the way for its release on February 11 without any further delays, barring unforeseen circumstances. Gamers can look forward to diving into Civilization VII on a variety of modern platforms, including the Steam Deck, where it has been verified to perform seamlessly.
Civilization VII brings a host of new features to the table, with reviewers praising the thoughtful innovations. One of the standout additions is the Legend system, designed to reward players for completing campaigns. Given the lengthy nature of the series' campaigns, this system encourages players to see their civilizations through to the end, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
While it may not generate the same level of hype as blockbuster titles like Grand Theft Auto VI, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII remains one of the most eagerly awaited games of the year within its dedicated fanbase. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are now open, allowing fans to secure their copy ahead of the release date.
