Civilization VII: A Roadmap to Global Domination
Civilization VII's launch is imminent, with a release date set for February 11th, boasting availability across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Deluxe and Founders Edition owners enjoy a five-day early access period starting February 6th. A day-one patch will also be released concurrently.
The game's development has reached a gold standard, signifying completion of the core development phase and minimizing the likelihood of further delays. Firaxis Games and 2K aim to establish Civilization VII as the benchmark for turn-based 4X strategy games.
The first DLC, "Crossroads of the World," arrives in March in two parts. The initial release introduces Great Britain and Carthage as playable civilizations, along with the historical figure Ada Lovelace as a new leader. Three weeks later, the second installment adds Simon Bolivar as a leader and Bulgaria and Nepal as new civilizations.
Further expansion is planned with "Right to Rule," a DLC scheduled for release in Q2 or Q3 2025 (April-September). This expansion will include two more leaders, four additional civilizations, and new natural wonders.
March will also see the addition of new in-game events and natural wonders, including the Bermuda Triangle and Mount Everest. Firaxis has committed to ongoing improvements and the introduction of fresh challenges throughout the game's lifecycle.
