One of the most notable changes in Civilization VII is its cross-platform release. The game will be available on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch at launch, promising a more accessible and consistent gaming experience across all platforms.
Gameplay has also undergone a substantial overhaul. In previous Civilization games, players were limited to a single historical leader. However, Civilization VII introduces a dynamic system where players can choose a new civilization at the start of each age, building upon their existing empire.
The available options will vary based on historical context and previous achievements. Players can embark on a full game with three time periods (Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern) or opt for a single-age scenario. For added flexibility, players can also mix and match leaders and locations, creating unique and engaging gameplay experiences.
