Full details about Sid Meier's Civilization VII were
shared during gamescom Opening Night Live and an ensuing gameplay
showcase that highlighted the title’s innovative new features. The
announcement also revealed Gwendoline Christie ("Game of Thrones,"
"Star Wars" franchise) as the new narrator of the game via an
enthralling live-action trailer.
In Sid Meier's Civilization VII, your strategic decisions
shape the unique cultural lineage of your evolving empire. Rule as
one of many legendary leaders from throughout history and steer the
course of your story by choosing a new civilization to represent
your empire in each Age of human advancement.
"We're incredibly excited to take players on a new type of
journey through history in Sid Meier's Civilization VII,"
stated Ed Beach, Creative Director at Firaxis Games. "With the
introduction of revolutionary new features such as Ages, the
ability to select leaders and civilizations independently to mix
and match gameplay bonuses, a beautiful new art style and more,
Sid Meier's Civilization VII promises to be true to our goal
of being the ultimate historical strategy game."
"Building an empire to stand the test of time has never felt
more historically immersive," stated Dennis Shirk, Executive
Producer at Firaxis Games. "This is easily the biggest and most
ambitious Civilization game we've ever made, one that we
plan to support for many years to come."
Key features include:
- Build an Empire to Stand the Test of Time. Lead your
empire through distinct Ages of human history. Each Age is its own
rich, nuanced journey, with unique playable civilizations,
available resources, explorable land, and even entire gameplay
systems, creating a deep, historically immersive strategy
experience. Strive to accomplish significant scientific, cultural,
militaristic, and economic milestones within each Age to unlock
impactful advantages in the next!
- Evolve Your Empire as Each New Age Dawns. To build a
legacy that truly stands the test of time, you must adapt. Forge
your own path through history as you reshape your empire at the
start of each Age, selecting from a pool of new Age-relevant
civilization options determined by your prior gameplay
accomplishments. Evolving your empire unlocks fresh gameplay
bonuses and unique units, so your current civilization is always at
the height of its power.
- Play as Visionary Leaders of Progress. Embody an
illustrious leader with one of Civilization's most diverse
rosters yet, from traditional heads of state known for their
militaristic might or political prowess, to visionary leaders who
made everlasting impacts in philosophy, science, human rights, and
more! Each leader possesses a unique ability and can further be
improved with customizable attributes earned through gameplay,
empowering you to reinforce or pivot your strategy from one Age
into the next. For the first time in franchise history, you can
choose your leader separately from your civilization, giving you
the freedom to create all-new strategies by mixing and matching
gameplay bonuses.
- Explore a World Brought to Life Like Never Before. Make
your mark on a gorgeously detailed world! Your empire comes to life
with a vast, diverse range of cultural styles, represented across
building architecture and unit design. Face-to-face interactions
with other historic leaders immerse you in every act of diplomacy
and declaration of war. As your territory expands and your cities
continue to develop, lavishly rendered vistas of your empire
seamlessly connect to create a vibrant metropolis.
- Test Your Strategic Mettle in Multiplayer. Compete
against other players online and prove your prowess as a great
leader. Multiplayer matches can be epic multi-Age campaigns, or
take place in a single Age so you can enjoy an entire game in a
single session. Cross-play is supported between PC and consoles, so
you can play together with friends wherever they are.*
- An Enjoyable Strategy Experience for All. With more than
30 years of franchise legacy to draw from, Civilization VII
features a vast wealth of gameplay improvements that will thrill
series veterans and newcomers alike. The overhauled tutorial
experience and refined gameplay systems make jumping into
Civilization easier than ever, while returning players will
appreciate a massive suite of gameplay improvements. Move your army
as one under the leadership of a commander, unlock progression
bonuses for your leaders across multiple gameplay sessions,
traverse navigable rivers, and much, much more!
