Civilization 7 just got better as Firaxis cuts one annoying feature

We cover a lot of strategy games at PCGamesN - between Cities Skylines 2, the upcoming Frostpunk 2, updates to Stellaris, Manor Lords, and dozens more, it's been a busy 18 months. And then, despite all this competition and would-be new blood, Firaxis confirms Civilization 7 and reminds everyone that it's still, after 33 years, top of the genre food chain. Civ 6 is excellent; the sequel should be even better. But while we wait for launch, Firaxis just made its upcoming 4X opus sound even more promising by confirming that one aggravating feature will be cut entirely.

Civilization 7 has a new launch window and it's good news for fans

There are few games as anticipated, at least in PC gaming circles, as Civilization 7.

While the sixth game remains strong after plenty of updates, it has been eight years since it launched and the feeling is generally that we're due another entry. That may be coming true sooner than many might have expected, with new Civilization 7 launch window information dropping as part of Take-Two's new earnings report.

We promised that your first look at gameplay would be coming in August, and now we want to provide some details on what you can expect.

Civilization is a game that is as wide as it is deep, covering the span of human history as you build your empire piece by piece in the attempt to stand the test of time. We know many of you love getting into the details, and we do too - that's why we're going all-out for the gameplay reveal coming later this month.

First, mark your calendars for August 20, 2024! We're excited to be part of Gamescom Opening Night Live with Geoff Keighley, where we'll debut our gameplay trailer for Civilization VII. This will be the first time the world sees Civilization VII in motion, and you won't want to miss it. Make sure you tune-in at Twitch.tv/gamescom at 11:00 AM PT / 8:00 PM CEST to watch Opening Night Live as it airs.
