What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is the latest entry in a revered strategy game series that began in 1991. Developed by Firaxis, it allows players to choose a historical leader and guide their civilization towards global supremacy. You can construct cities, erect architectural marvels, and expand your dominion through conquest or diplomacy with other civilizations.
The game offers immense flexibility in how you guide your civilization's progress. You can adhere closely to historical accuracies or chart a completely unique course. A significant new feature in Civ 7 is the dynamic civilization selection across three distinct Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. Throughout your journey, the only constant is your chosen leader.
