What is Civilization VII?

Civilization VII, developed by Firaxis, continues the legacy of the acclaimed strategy series, first launched in 1991. Players choose a historical leader and guide their civilization through the ages, building cities, constructing wonders, and expanding their influence through conquest or diplomacy. A key innovation in Civ VII is the multi-civilization gameplay across three distinct eras: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. Only the chosen leader remains constant throughout each playthrough.
