Civilization 7 has just been announced after being leaked earlier today.

At the Summer Game Fest 2024, 2K Games and Firaxis announced Civilization 7, for real this time. The strategy game had unfortunately leaked just earlier this very day, and by publisher 2K's own website, no less, completely spoiling the eventual surprise, but it's still a nice treat to have confirmed nonetheless.

After the brief cinematic trailer, none other than Sid Meier himself appeared in a video message. The creator didn't have many gameplay details to reveal on Civilization 7, but he did confirm that the new game will launch across PC and consoles at the same time at some point next year.

Additionally, Meier confirmed that we can tune in for a full reveal of Civilization 7 at some point later this summer. We don't exactly know when this is however, or if it'll be during a publisher showcase, or something that Firaxis will provide a closer look at themselves.
