Sid Meier's Civilization VII News

Hey, Civ fans! We just wrapped our latest developer livestream showcasing some of the changes coming in Civilization VII Update 1.1.1 deploying on March 25, plus some dev-versus-dev multiplayer gameplay and viewer Q&A!

In the VOD above, we discuss additions included in this free update like Quick Move functionality, improvements to map generation, the option for Settlement and Commander renaming, Mount Everest as a new Natural Wonder for all players, additional UI polish, and more.

We also debuted live gameplay of new civ Bulgaria and new leader Simón Bolívar, which both go live alongside new civ Nepal as part of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection* DLC on March 25.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in, especially those of you who voted for our multiplayer showdown civ and leader picks on the official Civilization Discord server!

Contains 6 DLCs, all of which will be available in March 2025 (subject to change). Each DLC will be delivered automatically in-game on release. Terms apply.

Just in case there was any doubt in your mind that Monster Hunter Wilds is the biggest release of the year so far - pretty much everywhere - along comes the consumer report for the month of February.
