Apparently there's going to be a Civilization VII at some point in the future:

It may not be the "biggest" game announcement, but it will suck up more hours than nay other AAA game.

Yeah, I saw something from 2K that was obviously hinting at Civ 7.

Not just on the PC this time? That's good news, I guess. (Although it probably looks a lot better on a gaming PC than on any other system.)

Oh, okay. I haven't played any of the Civilization games yet and thought they were all on PC.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

The series has for the most part remained on pc.

 

[Gee]

Hopefully, this will be closer to Civ 5 than Civ 6.

Very glad to hear about this. There goes 1,000 hours of my life.

No way I'm playing this on anything but pc! Finally can see what this CPU can do.

2K removes its pointless launcher from Civilization 6, while also announcing that Civilization 7 players will never have to suffer launching the game twice for no reason

February 2025. Art style looks good to me. I'll have to watch the gameplay showcase later today.

It has some fascinating changes. The ages concept is really cool. And separating leaders from nations is interesting. And how you can change nations throughout history, like real life history. And I love how the cities and districts work, and that settlers don't automatically make cities, but towns, which support cities.

'If you fire it up, there's a build of Civilization 1 on there': The PC that Sid Meier used to make the first Civilization has a whopping 16MB of memory and still works

The Firaxis IT team got the classic Compaq Deskpro 386 running with the help of "some creative salvage."

New leader and new Civ. I am curious if some Civs are going to get multiple versions, as I imagine some Civs existed in both the Exploration and Modern age. Can't wait till full playable previews become available.

Checking on some of the reactions, and man, I knew some of the changes were going to be controversial, but wow, seems to be quite the vocal crowd who hates it sight unseen.

Hooboy, the reaction to Harriet Tubman being a leader is... exactly what you would think.

Civilization 7 senior historian prays it'll be a 'gateway drug' into textbooks: 'I teach undergraduates in my other life, and my God, man, they don't read'

"I just want people to appreciate the world and the strangeness of the world," says Dr. Andrew Johnson.

Preordered. Kind of worried about how monetized it will be. But, fine. I tend to wait for the sales for expansions anyway.
