What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII continues the storied legacy of the iconic strategy series that began in 1991. Developed by Firaxis Games, this installment lets players choose from historical leaders to guide their civilization toward global supremacy. Build cities, develop cultural landmarks, and expand your empire through diplomacy, warfare, science, or trade.
One of the most significant innovations in Civ VII is the Age system, where players switch civilizations during three distinct eras—Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern—while retaining their chosen leader throughout the campaign.
