Sid Meier’s Civilization VII was announced at the Summer Games Fest 2024 conference. The game is scheduled for release in 2025, and a gameplay demonstration will take place in August this year.
The teaser trailer conveys the mood and perception more than the game itself. Nomads become masons, big cities are built, people fight. Music, trade, art, research, and industry. A choir is heard. A train! Indeed, we live in an enlightened age. Hammers are pounding, and through coal, dirt, and labor, electricity is born. A big city. A rocket. And a message: «See the gameplay presentation this August».
