What Is Civilization VII?
**Sid Meier’s Civilization VII** is the latest entry in a storied strategy game series that began in 1991. Developed by Firaxis, this game allows you to choose a historical leader to guide your civilization to global supremacy. Build your city, erect architectural wonders, and expand your empire through conquest or diplomacy with neighboring civilizations.
You have the freedom to shape your civilization's progress in ways that can either follow historical paths or diverge into unique narratives of your own creation. A standout feature in Civ 7 is the dynamic civilization selection across three distinct Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. Your chosen leader remains constant, but the civilization you lead changes with each Age, adding a fresh layer of strategy and replayability.
