Civilization 7: Where to Pre-Order, Release Date, Latest News

It has been nine years since the release of Civilization 6, and now, in just a few weeks, Civilization 7 is about to drop. The seventh series of the 4X turn-based strategy video game developed by Firaxis Games was originally announced at Summer Game Fest 2024.

About 75 to 80% of my playtime has focused on early- to mid-game play. If they make endgame more enjoyable, I seriously worry for my sleep schedule,” one user gushed.

“I’m so stoked that they implemented the mechanic of urban and rural settlements. Now I can finally create one giant city with all its resources supplied by surrounding towns.
