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 generally praising the innovative changes. A notable addition is the new Legend system, rewarding players for completing campaigns. This feature directly addresses the common issue of players abandoning campaigns due to their length.
While belonging to a niche genre, Sid Meier's Civilization VII ranks among the year's most anticipated titles, though its pre-release buzz hasn't quite reached the fever pitch of Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are currently open.
