Just four more days until the Civilization VII Gameplay Reveal...

[FXS_Sar]

Hey all! Just sending through a reminder to check out our gameplay reveal during Gamescom's Opening Night Live, and then tune in around 1:30 PM PT (10:30 PM CEST / 8:30 PM GMT) for a 20+ minute gameplay deep dive at Twitch.tv/FiraxisGames.

The Firaxis office is buzzing -- we're so excited to show you all what we've been working on these past few years! And we hope you like a few of the reveals we have planned, too

Since I'll be traveling next week (woooo! Gamescom!), I wanted to take this time to also introduce @FXS_Gilgamesh, another Firaxian helping out on the community side. He'll be making sure we're still here for your questions and feedback, and keeping you updated with everything we have planned dev-side.

If you'll be at Gamescom, swing by our booth, see Civ 7 in action, and come say hi!

Naturally I am going to watch it even though it starts almost midnight here in Finland.

I wonder what those reveals are! Maybe a first look of a civ!

 

[vorlon_mi]

I blocked time on my work calendar, to make sure no one schedules anything on top of it!

 

[Nikolai II]

Eager to see what is revealed.

 

[SeelingCat]

Wow - Firaxis promoted Gilgamesh from civ leader to a member of the team! You love to see it

 

[Hawke9]

So incredibly excited!!! Can't wait to see what you have been working on these last years

 

[Reckoner]

Wow - Firaxis promoted Gilgamesh from civ leader to a member of the team! You love to see it

4th tier alliances confirmed!

All I can say is “hype!”

 

[Xur]

While I’m excited for the reveal, I also remember previous civ6 marketing and what we got in the end. No questions answered, zero comments on AI or mapsize and zero communication when there’s nothing to sell. I hope there’s a bit more transparancy this time about potential problems and patches.

But I must say that OP has already done more than any other Firaxis employee I can remember. Thanks for that. I hope you continue after release.

I'm very excited and eagerly waiting the gameplay reveal !

I wonder if - for those of us who won't be at Gamescom - we'll have a chance to put our hands on the game. Is a demo planned ?

 

[SupremacyKing2]

I am very excited for the gameplay reveal. I am looking forward to learning more about the game mechanics. Specifically, I am curious about any big new changes Firaxis is introducing in civ7. I am also curious about how combat and diplomacy will work.

 

[Aquila SPQR]

Just wondering - when work on Civ VII started? I'm just curious how long it takes for such game to be made.

@FXS_Gilgamesh

Well this awkward.. one of us's gotta change...

 

[CivLuvah]

I have my notebook ready for the big day!

 

[Nikolai II]

I have my notebook ready for the big day!

You have my pen! And my pencil!

Sarah mentions that Firaxis has been working on civ7 for the past few years:

"we're so excited to show you all what we've been working on these past few years!"

We don't know how many years exactly but my guess is that it could be 2-3. So likely as Firaxis was doing the DLCs for civ6, they had a team starting to brainstorm and work on an alpha build for civ7.

You don't have to tell us twice! I've been looking forward to the reveal like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. So excited to see the next generation of Civ

Remember that Civ 6 is about to be 8 years old. I’d be really surprised if it were only 2-3 years that Civ 7 has been in development. In general, games are a lot more expensive to create and take longer and longer to make these days.

I have my notebook ready for the big day!

I've had a spreadsheet ready for over a year

Will there be a playable demo for attendees?
