Civilization VII Release Date Nears

Firaxis Games and 2K have confirmed that Sid Meier's Civilization VII, the highly anticipated turn-based 4X strategy game, has reached gold status. 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 updates for longtime fans, with reviewers largely praising the innovative changes. A key addition is the new Legend system, offering players bonuses for completing campaigns. This feature aims to encourage players to fully experience the extensive campaigns, a challenge often cited due to the series' lengthy playtime.

While a niche title, Sid Meier's Civilization VII is among the year's most eagerly awaited games, although its pre-release buzz doesn't quite match the monumental hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI. The game is priced at the standard $70, and pre-orders are currently open.
