What Is Civilization VII?

Play

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, developed by Firaxis, is the latest in a series that began in 1991. This strategy game invites you to step into the shoes of a historical leader, guiding your civilization to global dominance. Construct cities, erect architectural wonders, and expand your empire through conquest or diplomacy. Civilization VII offers you the freedom to shape your civilization's progress in a historically accurate manner or to take a more creative approach, crafting a unique narrative.

A standout feature of Civilization VII is its dynamic civilization selection. Rather than sticking with one civilization throughout the game, you'll choose a new civilization for each of the three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. The only constant throughout your journey is the leader you've chosen at the outset.
