Civilization 7has just been announced after being leaked earlier today.

As you can probably imagine, the reveal trailer for Civilization 7 was filled with all sorts of history societies and leaders facing off against each other, for the chance to go down in history as a great ruler. Being renowned at that sort of level is the main cut and thrust of any Civilization game, I suppose, so it makes sense that the reveal trailer for Civilization 7 would hype up the grand nature of the new game.

After the brief cinematic trailer, none other than Sid Meier himself appeared in a video message. The creator didn’t have many gameplay details to reveal on Civilization 7, but he did confirm that the new game will launch across PC and consoles at the same time at some point next year.

Additionally, Meier confirmed that we can tune in for a full reveal of Civilization 7 at some point later this summer. We don’t exactly know when this is however, or if it’ll be during a publisher showcase, or something that Firaxis will provide a closer look at themselves.
