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. The historical accuracy was astounding, with every aspect of the game world feeling authentic and immersive. The new Legacy system added a layer of strategic depth and customization that I hadn’t seen in previous Civilization games.
One of the most striking features of Civilization VII is its focus on diplomacy and influence. The ability to negotiate trade deals, form alliances, and manage relationships with other civilizations added a whole new dimension to the gameplay. The combat system has also been refined, with the introduction of Commanders who can lead multiple units, making battles more dynamic and engaging.
While I only had a limited time to explore the game, I came away incredibly excited about what Civilization VII has to offer. The developers have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into creating a truly exceptional experience, and I can’t wait to see how it evolves as we get closer to its release.
