Sid Meier’s Civilization VI announced for PC
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Civilization series, 2K and Firaxis Games have announced Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, currently in development for PC.
“We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the silver anniversary of our longest-running franchise than launching the eagerly anticipated Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, which will provide the most detailed, beautiful and complete experience ever featured in a Civilization game,” said the President of 2K, Christoph Hartmann.
In Civilization VI, cities will expand across the whole map with “deep, strategic layers”. Active research in technology and culture will unlock new ways to play, with leader’s character traits playing a big role in how you’ll pursue agendas and victory. Some of the key features in Sid Meier’s Civilization include:
-
Expansive Empires – See the marvels of your empire spread across the map like never before. Each city spans multiple tiles so you can custom build your cities to take full advantage of the local terrain;
-
Active Research – Unlock boosts that speed your civilization’s progress through history. To advance more quickly, use your units to actively explore, develop your environment, and discover new cultures;
-
Dynamic Diplomacy – Interactions with other civilizations change over the course of the game, from primitive first interactions where conflict is a fact of life, to late game alliances and negotiations;
-
Combined Arms – Expanding on the “one unit per tile” design, support units can now be embedded with other units, like anti-tank support with infantry, or a warrior with settlers. Similar units can also be combined to form powerful “Corps” units;
-
Enhanced Multiplayer – In addition to traditional multiplayer modes, cooperate and compete with your friends in a wide variety of situations all designed to be easily completed in a single session;
-
A CIV for all Players – Civilization VI provides veteran players new ways to build and tune their civilization for the greatest chance of success. New tutorial systems are designed to introduce new players to the underlying concepts of Civilization so they can easily get started on a path to victory.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI will be released on October 21 for PC. You can watch the announcement trailer below:
