As a gamer excitedly counting down the days, I can’t help but share the thrilling news: I’ve learned that my favorite strategy game developers, Firaxis Games, along with publisher 2K, have announced that Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 has reached its final stage of development! In gaming terms, we call this moment “going gold.” This means the game is now ready for release on February 11, 2025. As part of the process, the physical copies of Civilization 7 will be sent to manufacturers for printing and packaging – one step closer to landing in my hands!

The “Civilization” video game series, initially launched in 1991 by Sid Meier, an American entrepreneur and software developer, comprises seven main games accompanied by various extensions, spinoffs, and board games. The seventh installment, “Civilization 7”, is set for release on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Valve has recently announced exciting news for handheld gamers: “Civilization 7” will be playable on the Steam Deck, marking the first game in the series to receive the Steam Deck-verified badge.

The Civilization 7 official account shared on social media platforms that the game has reached its final production phase, or as they put it, “We’ve struck gold!”. Excited fans eagerly anticipate what Civilization 7 has in store. Key features include updated combat mechanics and a refreshed gameplay system where leaders are no longer bound to specific nations. Multiplayer matches can span single-age or multi-age campaigns, with the added convenience of cross-platform play between PC and console versions, simplifying collaborative conquests with friends. Additionally, players have the option to follow a historically accurate path or create their unique legacy that resonates throughout the gameplay experience.
