Firaxis Games and 2K have announced that the highly anticipated turn-based strategy game, Sid Meier's Civilization VII, has reached its gold master status. This milestone signifies the completion of primary development, virtually guaranteeing a timely release on February 11th. The game boasts Steam Deck verification and will be available across all major platforms.
Civilization VII introduces several significant enhancements for long-time fans. Reviewers have largely praised these additions, particularly the new Legend system. This system rewards players for completing campaigns, aiming to encourage completion rates, a challenge often cited in previous iterations due to the game's extensive playtime.
While a niche title, Sid Meier's Civilization VII remains one of the year's most eagerly awaited games, albeit with less pre-release buzz than titles like Grand Theft Auto VI. Priced at the standard $70, pre-orders are currently open.
