What is Civilization VII?

Civilization VII, developed by Firaxis, continues the legacy of the iconic strategy series, first launched in 1991. Players choose a historical leader and guide their civilization through the ages, building cities, creating wonders, and expanding their influence through conquest or diplomacy. A key innovation in Civ VII is the multi-civilization gameplay across three distinct ages (Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern), with only the chosen leader carrying over between eras.
