Firaxis Games and publisher 2K have exciting news for strategy game enthusiasts: Sid Meier’s Civilization VII has officially gone gold. This milestone signifies that the core development of the game is complete, paving the way for a smooth release on February 11 without any unforeseen delays. Fans can look forward to enjoying the game on various platforms, including the Steam Deck, where it has been verified for optimal performance.
Civilization VII introduces a host of thrilling updates that have been well-received by reviewers. One of the standout features is the new Legend system, designed to reward players with bonuses for completing campaigns. This addition is particularly significant given the series' history of long development times, which can sometimes deter players from finishing their campaigns. The Legend system aims to encourage completion and enhance player engagement.
Although the game caters to a niche audience, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is poised to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year. While it may not generate the same level of excitement as Grand Theft Auto VI, it holds a special place in the hearts of strategy game aficionados. Priced at a standard $70, the game is now available for pre-order, allowing fans to secure their copy ahead of the release date.
