Civilization VII is highly likely to be released on schedule

Firaxis Games and 2K have confirmed that Sid Meier's Civilization VII, the highly anticipated turn-based 4X strategy game, has gone gold. 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 gameplay enhancements, generally well-received by previewers. A notable addition is the new Legend system, rewarding players for campaign completion. This feature aims to encourage players to finish campaigns, a common challenge given the game's extensive playtime.

While a niche title, Sid Meier's Civilization VII ranks among the year's most anticipated releases, although its overall hype doesn't quite reach the levels of Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are now open.
