Civilization VII: 2025's Most Anticipated PC Game Unveils Engaging New Campaign Mechanics
Civilization VII has been crowned the most anticipated PC game of 2025 by PC Gamer's "Most Wanted" event! The game's creative director, Ed Beach, recently shed light on innovative mechanics designed to enhance campaign engagement. This article delves into the PC Gaming Show's findings and the exciting new features coming to Civ VII.
Topping the Charts
On December 6th, the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted announced Civ VII as the number one most anticipated game of 2025. The ranking was determined by a vote from "The Council," a panel of over 70 developers, content creators, and PC Gamer editors. The three-hour livestream showcased the top 25 games slated for release next year, including new trailers for titles like Let’s Build a Dungeon and Drivers of the Apocalypse.
Doom: The Dark Ages and Monster Hunter Wilds secured the second and third spots, respectively, highlighting the strong competition in the upcoming year's gaming landscape. Other notable titles on the list included Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, The Thing: Remastered, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Civilization VII launches on February 11th, 2025, for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
A New Age of Campaign Play
Addressing player feedback regarding unfinished campaigns in Civ VI, Civ VII introduces a groundbreaking "Ages" mechanic. Each campaign is structured into three distinct chapters: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern Ages. Upon completing an Age, players can transition to a historically or geographically linked civilization, mirroring the rise and fall of real-world empires.
This transition isn't random; connections are carefully curated. For instance, the Roman Empire might progress to the French Empire, potentially with the Norman Empire serving as a bridge. Your chosen leader persists across Ages, maintaining a sense of continuity and rivalry. An "overbuild" feature allows for constructing new buildings atop existing ones, while Wonders and certain structures remain intact.
This innovative approach allows players to experience multiple civilizations within a single playthrough, adding depth and strategic layers to cultural, military, diplomatic, and economic gameplay.
