Civilization VII is the latest installment in a series of cult classic 4X games where you lead a civilization of your choice to glory. You can achieve victory in many ways, ranging from pacifistic ones to full-on military domination. While it sticks to the tried-and-true formula of the franchise, Civilization VII introduces new gameplay mechanics to keep things fresh.

The game is set to release on February 11, 2025.

The game will be available on PC (Windows/macOS/Linux), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

The game is being developed by Firaxis Games, the original studio behind the series. It will be published by 2K.

You can select your civilization and leader independently of each other. The ranks of leaders have been expanded to include philosophers, religious leaders, and scientists, not just heads of state. Historical eras have been simplified into three main ages. The Antiquity era features independent factions (formerly barbarians), which can evolve into city-states. Additionally, transitioning between eras involves choosing a new civilization and dealing with crisis events that impact your empire.

Yes. You can customize leaders using the Attribute system. Attribute points are earned through actions like building Wonders, researching Civics, completing narrative events, and achieving Victory Path milestones. These Attributes strengthen your leader.

Each age (Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern) features a different set of civilizations. Some major civilizations include America, the French Empire, Mexico, Russia, Qing China, Spain, Mongolia, Inca, Egypt, Greece, Persia, and Ancient Rome.

The age system has been streamlined into three main ages: Ancient, Exploration, and Modern. At the end of each age, players must select a new civilization to lead. The Ancient and Exploration ages end with crisis events that significantly impact the next era.

While the core gameplay remains true to the series, significant changes include the simplified age system, the ability to select any leader for your nation, new independent faction mechanics, and the introduction of crisis events.

Firaxis uses an in-house engine for Civilization VII rather than any well-known third-party engine.
