Firaxis Games and 2K have 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 key improvements for long-time fans. Reviewers generally praise the innovative changes, particularly the new Legend system. This system rewards players for completing campaigns, a feature designed to encourage completion given the series' notoriously lengthy playtime.
While not generating the same level of hype as Grand Theft Auto VI, Sid Meier's Civilization VII remains one of the year's most eagerly awaited titles within its genre. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are currently open.
