As a big fan of the Civilization series, attending Gamescom 2024 and getting an early look at Civilization VII was a dream come true. The opportunity to meet with 2K Games and the development team at Firaxis and experience the game firsthand was truly unforgettable.


From the moment I sat down to play, I was immediately impressed by the level of detail and depth on offer.
