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 exciting features, many of which have received positive feedback from early reviewers. A notable addition is the new Legend system, rewarding players for completing campaigns – a feature designed to encourage playthrough completion, a common challenge in the series due to its length.
While occupying a niche genre, Sid Meier's Civilization VII is undoubtedly one of 2024's most anticipated titles, although its pre-release buzz doesn't quite match the fervor surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are now open.
