Civilization 7 HAS BEEN REVEALED!

[Uberfrog]

Back to sleep, then.

Well, Sid said it's released to PC and consoles and Steam notes support for xbox/ps controls. That's new, right?

I will be disappointed if that's going to be the only new thing for Civ7

Hehe yeah no that's not happening.

No new info in the steam page - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295660/Sid_Meiers_Civilization_VII/

"Requires 3rd-Party Account: 2K Account" is definitely new. I guess they are done with the carrot (Julius Caesar, Scout Cat) and are going with the stick. Hopefully it's for a good reason (ie full cross-platform/console play) but I suspect not.

it has a section for "SteamOS + Linux" in the system requirements on steam, maybe that means itll have native linux support on launch ? If so i hope its not an abysmal port like the one for civ 6 is (im on Linux and playing the windows version, it runs way way better)

I will say the reveal trailer was a lot less 'cartoonish' than the Civ VI reveal trailer. I guess we can all read in to that however we like.

This is the trailer they used when they first announced Civ6. The announcement trailer for Civ7 definitely looks like they've put in more effort.

Plot twist: it is not Civilization VII but Civilization V II - upgraded version of civ5 with improved graphics and UI, and a bunch of bugfixes

You know what... I wouldn't be mad, Civ 5 is an excellent game.

As someone who did not like Civ5.... I hope so haha

Interestingly on the Steam page it says full controller support. (I guess for the Steam Deck as well).

FYI Civ VI does not have this.
Instead the console version is actually different, with a more compact UI that is navigable by controllers.

I guess the madness of speculation will wait???

Of course it won't! Multiple voices! Who are those quotes attributed to? So it shall be! What does it mean!

Speculation needs very little to flourish.

Requires an internet connection?

So we can't play offline. (Or mobile?)
I pretty much mostly play Civ VI on long haul flights or on the train.

(If I'm not play testing my mods that is).

Maybe, but I wouldn't read too much into that. Steam pages often have incorrect information about accounts, EULAs, and 3rd-party DRM until closer to launch. Sometimes, even after launch!

That looks like some kind of giveaway.

 

[Mad Man]

Clearly the Switch version will be the definitive way to play Civ7.

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but I do wonder if one can deduce leaders from the quotes and their speakers during the trailer.

Giveaways/unlockables maybe attached to the 2K account.

Like they did with Civ: Beyond Earth.

Not an internet connection.

Just FYI Marvel's Midnight Suns stores its saves online. So for example I can continue my game on my Steam Deck. It's pretty nifty.
Maybe Firaxis are going Unreal with Civ VII

 

[SammyKhalifa]

Well that was insulting.

In what way, exactly?

The quotes are in the teaser trailer thread. No leaders.

Nothing on steamdb yet to speculate about.

The steam page uses the tag "Hex Grid", which shouldn't be surprising, but also the "Shared / Split Screen PvP" category, so hopefully Hotseat mode is confirmed.
