What Is Civilization VII?
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII marks the latest entry in a strategy game series that traces its roots back to 1991. Developed by Firaxis, it allows you to select a historical leader and guide your civilization toward global dominance. Build cities adorned with architectural marvels and expand your empire either through conquest or diplomacy with neighboring civilizations.
The game offers ample freedom in how you guide your civilization's progress, allowing you to stay true to historical paths or carve out a new narrative entirely.
A standout feature of Civ 7 is its dynamic civilization selection. Instead of playing as a single civilization throughout the game, you'll switch civilizations at each of the three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. The only constant throughout your journey is the leader you've chosen.
