Get ready for an exciting journey with *Civilization VII*, the latest installment in the iconic series from Firaxis Games and publisher 2K. Mark your calendars for February 11, as this turn-based 4X strategy game, hailed as the gold standard in its genre, is set to launch across multiple platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Notably, Steam Deck has confirmed compatibility, ensuring gamers can enjoy *Civilization VII* on all modern platforms.
Deluxe and Founders Edition owners will get a head start with early access beginning February 6, five days before the official release. On launch day, a zero-day patch will be available to ensure the smoothest possible gameplay experience right from the start.
The game's development has reached the gold standard, signaling that the main development is complete and barring any unforeseen issues, there will be no further delays. This milestone is a testament to the dedication of Firaxis Games in delivering a polished and engaging experience.
Looking ahead, *Civilization VII* is set to expand with exciting downloadable content (DLC). The first DLC, *Crossroads of the World*, will be released in two parts in March. In the first stage, players will command Great Britain and Carthage, and meet Ada Lovelace, a computer pioneer and new leader. Three weeks later, the second phase introduces Simon Bolivar as a leader, along with Bulgaria and Nepal as new civilizations.
Later in 2025, between April and September, the *Right to Rule* DLC will add two more leaders, four new civilizations, and natural wonders to the game, further enriching the *Civilization VII* experience.
Firaxis is committed to enhancing the game with new challenges and events. In March, players can look forward to new in-game events and the addition of natural wonders like the Bermuda Triangle and Everest, promising to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
