Both maps are playable both online and offline and were designed to encourage conflict by forcing players to move towards their centers. The biggest addition in Civilization 6’s Fall 2016 Update has to be the long-awaited support for DirectX 12, which is currently available for both AMD and NVIDIA Maxwell-series-or-later cards.Īs far as gameplay enhancements, a new Cavalry and Cannonades multiplayer scenario has been released as well as two new map types: Four-Leaf Clover and Six-Armed Snowflake. “In this video, and with the future development of civ 7 as a backdrop, I will unpack the Firaxis GDC slides and discuss what their findings mean for future Sid Meier’s Civilization games, how civ 7s development will build on civ 6’s, and what kind of gameplay, extra content, leaders and civs will be in civ 7? This is a research and analysis piece, but the opinions and insights are purely my own.2K and Firaxis Games have released a Fall 2016 Update for Sid Meier’s Civilization 6 that finally adds DirectX 12 support, new multiplayer scenarios, and the usual gameplay updates, balance changes, bug fixes, and more. Here’s the video description from JumboPixel: There are quite a few interesting takeaways which hint at where the game could be headed in the future with Civ 7. The video in question is purely speculative but does lean heavily into some comments and slides from Firaxis at the 2022 Game Developers Conference. We personally found this video (below) from YouTuber JumboPixel, who focuses on content for 4x strategy games. Also, it’s hard to shake the idea that the COVID-19 pandemic wouldn’t have had some sort of impact on development.Įven if we were to get an announcement for Civ 7 in 2022, we doubt we’ll be seeing the game launch until 2023 at the very earliest. It’s equally worth noting that traditionally we’ve seen a new Civ game every 5 to 6 years, and whilst it might have been 6 years since the launch of Civ 6, players have had two expansions and the New Frontier Pass all released since then, adding plenty of new DLC content. Given that Fireaxis delayed Marvel’s Midnight Suns until the second half of 2022, we suspect we might not see any news about Civ 7 until after the launch of Midnight Suns later this year. However, at the time of writing it’s difficult to provide a specific release date for Civ 7 since for now it’s not actually been announced by the developer. Unless XCOM 3 is going in a very different direction, we think it’s safe to say the developer is working on Sid Meier’s Civilisation 7.Īs we’ve mentioned, it sounds as though Firaxis has been working on Civ 7 in some capacity since August 2021, as that’s when the team were looking for their new narrative lead. Whilst the job listing didn’t mention what title the successful candidate would be working on, it was described as the studio’s “next AAA strategy title”. In November 2021 the developer was hiring for several new roles, but tellingly, this included a narrative lead who needed to have a “knowledge and passion for world history”. It would certainly seem as though the developer of the Civilisation series has got something going on in the background, based on some recent job ads at the company. One can only hope.Įither way, tune it, it’ll be fun! Civ 7 Leaks Plus with 2K confirmed to be part of Summer Game Fest, it sure would be a good time to announce what Firaxis Games is working on. But this isn’t to say it won’t have some new game announcements. It’s also worth noting that the show’s creator Geoff Keighley has let fans know that the show will be “primarily focused” on already announced games. Don’t forget that the third Summer Game Fest takes place on June 9, and promises to showcase “what’s next in gaming with huge new game announcements, world premieres, special guests, and much more”.
