Civilization 7's post-release roadmap revealed

Civilization VII: A Roadmap to Global Domination

Civilization VII's launch is imminent, bringing a new era of 4X strategy gaming. The game, developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K, is poised to set a new standard in the genre. Its release date is set for February 11th, with early access for Deluxe and Founders Edition owners beginning February 6th. The game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, including Steam Deck compatibility. A day-one patch will also be released.

The initial DLC, "Crossroads of the World," will arrive in two parts this March. The first installment introduces Great Britain and Carthage as playable civilizations, along with the new leader Ada Lovelace. Three weeks later, the second part adds Simon Bolivar as a leader, and Bulgaria and Nepal as new civilizations.

Further expansions are planned. "Right to Rule," slated for release in Q2 or Q3 2025 (April-September), will include two more leaders, four additional civilizations, and new natural wonders.

Firaxis is committed to ongoing improvements. March will see the addition of new in-game events and natural wonders, including the Bermuda Triangle and Mount Everest. The developers promise to enhance the game with further challenges and events throughout its lifecycle.
