With Civilization 6 about as stuffed with expansions as it can get, Firaxis is finally on the cusp of releasing the seventh numbered sequel in one of the longest running and most successful game series ever. Civilization 7 will be out in February.
Far from resting on its laurels, Firaxis is really mixing things up with Civ 7, introducing a new three-act structure that sees us pick new civs as we transition between ages—you might've seen a similar system in another recent grand strategy game, Humankind. That and other changes will be controversial among fans of the series, but whether they turn out to be for the better or worse, I'm glad Sid Meier's gang of history nerds is still trying new things. (An argument also made by PC Gamer contributor Len Hafer recently.)
