Firaxis Games and 2K have announced that the highly anticipated turn-based strategy game, Sid Meier's Civilization VII, has reached the gold master stage. 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 current-generation platforms.
Civilization VII delivers a wealth of exciting updates for longtime fans, with reviewers generally praising the implemented innovations. A key addition is the new Legend system, rewarding players for completing campaigns – a feature designed to encourage completion, given the series' notoriously lengthy playtime.
While a niche title, Sid Meier's Civilization VII ranks among the year's most eagerly awaited releases, though its pre-release buzz undeniably pales in comparison to the hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are currently open.
