As a devoted fan of both “Game of Thrones” and the “Civilization” series, I can hardly contain my excitement for Sid Meier’s Civilization 7! The fact that Gwendoline Christie, the formidable Brienne of Tarth herself, will be narrating this game is a dream come true. Her rich acting background, spanning from “Game of Thrones” to the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, promises an engaging and immersive experience.

As a devoted fan, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming narrator for Sid Meier’s Civilization 7! Set to debut in February 2025, the enchanting Gwendoline Christie – a beloved star from the phenomenal HBO series Game of Thrones – has been chosen to lend her voice to this epic game. The Civilization series is renowned for featuring well-known actors as narrators, and it seems that Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 will be no exception, following in the footsteps of its predecessor by recruiting another talented Game of Thrones actor.

Christie started acting in 2007, but it wasn’t until 2012 during the second season of Game of Thrones that she truly broke out, playing the role of Brienne of Tarth. Initially, her character served as a member of Renly Baratheon’s Kingsguard. However, her storyline evolved over time to have her protect the Stark sisters and later be knighted by Ser Jaime Lannister. In the final episode, she was made a member of the Kingsguard for Bran the Broken.

Christie has continued her acting career by appearing in significant film franchises such as The Hunger Games and the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and a recent live-action cinematic trailer for Civilization 7 unveiled her upcoming role as the game’s narrator. The new trailer portrays Christie strolling through a dimly lit room showcasing living dioramas illustrating milestones like the building of pyramids and a rocket launching into space, representing pivotal achievements commonly encountered by players in the game series. This setting suits her new position well, as the narrator in the Civilization games typically delivers notable historical quotes whenever a player uncovers a new technological advancement.

Gwendoline Christie Will Narrate Civilization 7

Before Christie took on the role, Sean Bean had been the narrator in Civilization 6. He is most famously recognized for his characters in Game of Thrones’ debut season and The Lord of the Rings trilogy as Ned Stark and Boromir respectively. In contrast to Bean, the position of narrator had previously been held by actors renowned for their Star Trek roles, with Leonard Nimoy and W. Morgan Sheppard narrating Civilization 4 and 5 respectively.

For enthusiasts of the series, Christie’s character addition is thrilling. However, what makes Civilization 7 truly intriguing is its array of novel elements designed to keep gameplay engaging. Apart from welcoming new leaders and eras, this version will introduce a Crisis System, where catastrophic events accumulate across an era, adding a layer of unpredictability. Moreover, the game will provide Legacy Paths, offering guidance on the journey towards victory milestones.
