“Sid Meier’s Civilization games hold a reputation for defining
the 4X gaming genre for the past 25 years,” said Christoph
Hartmann, President of 2K. “We can’t think of a better way to
celebrate the silver anniversary of our longest-running franchise
than launching the eagerly anticipated Sid Meier’s Civilization
VI, which will provide the most detailed, beautiful and
complete experience ever featured in a Civilization game.”
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI sets another milestone in the
Civilization franchise, which has sold-in over 34 million units
worldwide and changed the gaming landscape by bringing the strategy
genre to unparalleled heights. In Sid Meier’s Civilization
VI, cities will physically expand across the map to create new,
deep strategic layers, active research in technology and culture
will unlock new potential ways to play; and the large variety of
leaders will pursue their own agendas based on their historical
character traits as players race to achieve victory however they
choose to play.
“Sid Meier’s Civilization VI builds on the firm
foundation of the Civilization franchise, and we’ve added many
exciting new elements,” said Ed Beach, lead designer at Firaxis
Games. “The visual presentation of the game is inspired by the maps
and tools of the Age of Exploration, and we’ve made several key
gameplay changes such as expansive cities and active research that
makes Sid Meier’s Civilization VI an entirely unique
experience while remaining true to what makes the Civilization
series so special.”
Key features of Sid Meier’s Civilization VI include:
- EXPANSIVE EMPIRES: See the
marvels of your empire spread across the map like never before.
Each city spans multiple tiles so you can custom build your cities
to take full advantage of the local terrain;
- ACTIVE RESEARCH: Unlock boosts
that speed your civilization’s progress through history. To advance
more quickly, use your units to actively explore, develop your
environment, and discover new cultures;
- DYNAMIC DIPLOMACY: Interactions
with other civilizations change over the course of the game, from
primitive first interactions where conflict is a fact of life, to
late game alliances and negotiations;
- COMBINED ARMS: Expanding on the
“one unit per tile” design, support units can now be embedded with
other units, like anti-tank support with infantry, or a warrior
with settlers. Similar units can also be combined to form powerful
“Corps” units;
- ENHANCED MULTIPLAYER: In
addition to traditional multiplayer modes, cooperate and compete
with your friends in a wide variety of situations all designed to
be easily completed in a single session;
- A CIV FOR ALL PLAYERS:
Civilization VI provides veteran players new ways to build and tune
their civilization for the greatest chance of success. New tutorial
systems are designed to introduce new players to the underlying
concepts of Civilization so they can easily get started on a path
to victory.
Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI is not yet rated by the
ESRB, is available for pre-order now on Windows PC, and will be
released worldwide on October 21, 2016 for $59.99/£49.99/€59.99.
Expand your empire further with the Civilization VI Digital Deluxe
Edition, which includes the full base game, the 25th Anniversary
Digital Soundtrack, and access to four post-launch DLC packs that
will add new maps, scenarios, civilizations and leaders for a
bundled discount.
