Civilization VII: A Roadmap to Global Domination

Civilization VII's launch is imminent, bringing a new era of 4X strategy gameplay to PC and consoles. The game, declared "gold" by Firaxis and 2K, is set for release on February 11th, with early access for Deluxe and Founders Edition owners starting February 6th. A day-one patch will also be available. Expect the game on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, including Steam Deck compatibility.

The initial release will be bolstered by the "Crossroads of the World" DLC, arriving in two parts this March. The first installment introduces Great Britain and Carthage as playable civilizations, along with the intriguing new leader, Ada Lovelace. Three weeks later, the second part adds Simon Bolivar as a leader, and Bulgaria and Nepal as new civilizations.

Further expansion is planned with the "Right to Rule" DLC, slated for release in Q2 or Q3 2025 (April-September). This DLC promises four additional civilizations, two new leaders, and exciting new natural wonders.

Beyond the DLCs, Firaxis commits to ongoing improvements. March will see the addition of new in-game events and natural wonders, including the Bermuda Triangle and Mount Everest.
