What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is the latest installment in a strategy game series that has been captivating players since 1991. Developed by Firaxis, this game allows you to choose a historical leader to guide your civilization to global supremacy. Construct cities, erect architectural wonders, and expand your empire through conquest or diplomacy with neighboring civilizations.
The game offers flexibility in how you shape your civilization's progress. You can follow historical paths or create a unique narrative that diverges from traditional history.
A significant new feature in Civ 7 is the dynamic civilization selection. Instead of sticking with one civilization throughout the game, you'll choose a new civilization for each of the three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. The only constant is the leader you've chosen.
