What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII continues the legacy of a strategy game series that started in 1991. Developed by Firaxis, it allows you to choose a historical leader to guide your civilization to global dominance. You'll build your city, populate it with wonders, and expand your rule through conquest or cooperation. The game offers flexibility in how you steer your civilization's progress, allowing you to follow historical paths or create your own unique journey.
A key new feature in Civ 7 is the dynamic civilization selection across three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. While your chosen leader remains constant, you'll switch civilizations in each Age, adding a fresh twist to your strategy.
