What Is Civilization VII?

Sid Meier's Civilization VII, developed by Firaxis, continues the legacy of a strategy series that began in 1991. In this game, you'll assume the role of a historical leader, guiding your civilization to dominate the world. From building architectural wonders to expanding your empire through conquest or diplomacy, the choices are yours. A standout feature in Civ 7 is the dynamic civilization progression through three distinct Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern.
