For more than 30 years, Civilization has challenged players to build an empire to stand the test of time, offering rich, strategic gameplay that has resonated with fans across the world.
One year ago, we embarked on a bold new journey with the launch of Civilization VII. Our vision was to push the boundaries of the franchise, introducing new mechanics that offered a fresh perspective for our players.
As we look ahead, we’re committed to building on that foundation and weaving what we’ve heard from players directly into the game’s DNA – so Civ VII keeps growing into something that feels great for deity veterans and new players alike.
We’re excited to build the future of Civilization VII together, and now we’re ready to share a bit about where it’s going next. In a special anniversary message, Creative Director Ed Beach reveals the major feature evolutions currently being tested in the Firaxis Feature Workshop. These core changes serve as the bedrock for our massive upcoming free update, Test of Time. The article also shares the first details on Update 1.3.2, including the return of fav-favorite Leader Gilgamesh, and several extra anniversary surprises for our players. You can read the full anniversary message here.
