Kotaku - I had never played Civilization V prior to last week. Not to any meaningful degree, at least. I grew up with Nintendo and, to a lesser extent, Sega (plus Microsoft, come the aughts) providing my gaming goodness. I was a toddler when the original Civilization hit computers in 1991. Going from fast-paced kiddie-crack like Sonic on a 3-inch Game Gear screen to a massive, slow-paced strategy title like Civ would have been like putting Power Rangers and Mad Men back-to-back on Fox Kids. It was so far off my radar I don't think I even knew it existed.
Civilization 7 was announced for a 2025 release, but now Take-Two Interactive has confirmed a specific release window.
Civilization Mobile: World Origin, a strategy title based on the popular IP, has announced a closed beta testing in China.
New deck-building roguelike 4X strategy game Rogue Hex blends Civilization and Slay the Spire, and you can try the demo for free on Steam.
dont worry about 70% of us suck at it
