Firaxis announce Civilization 7 release date alongside new trailer full of nukes, Wonders and period celebs | Gaming

Firaxis and 2K Games have slapped a release date on Civilization 7, the latest in the obscenely venerable empire management series. It’s out 11th February 2025. Find a new trailer with a quick-and-dirty montage of units, buildings and posturing historical celebs below. Don’t worry, it still has hexagons.

It’s been a while since I’ve played Civ, and there are a lot of Civs to remember, so I’m not confident in picking out What’s New here, but I think the unit animations are more elaborate this time, with battalions of tanks and herds of spear-wielders that could almost have been lifted from Total War. There’s also a lot of nasty weather about, with some continent sized whirlwinds and lightning storms.

All that said, this looks like business as usual up…
