Firaxis Games and 2K have announced that Sid Meier's Civilization VII, the highly anticipated turn-based 4X strategy game, has achieved "gold status." This milestone signifies the completion of primary development, virtually guaranteeing the game's 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 seasoned players. Reviewers have largely praised these innovations, particularly the new Legend system. This system rewards players for completing campaigns, aiming to encourage playthrough completion—a challenge often cited by long-time fans due to the series' extensive gameplay.
While a niche genre, Sid Meier's Civilization VII ranks among the year's most eagerly awaited titles, although its pre-release buzz doesn't quite match the immense hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are now open.
