As Civilization 7 approaches its release, excitement among fans is palpable. Firaxis Games has recently unveiled the initial civilizations that will be available in the game, spanning from the Antiquity Age to the Exploration Age. This has fans eagerly awaiting what else the game will offer.
In their latest announcement, Firaxis shared the identities of the first six civilizations. From the Antiquity Age, players can look forward to Aksum, Egypt, Maya, Maurya, and Rome. The Shawnee represents the Exploration Age but will only be part of a paid DLC. While no civilizations from the Modern Age were featured, the developers hinted at more to come, leaving players intrigued.
a diverse group of supporters has turned to internet message boards to speculate about future civilizations. Discussions on Reddit show a vibrant exchange of ideas, with players suggesting nations like Greece and the Inca Empire. One user noted the likelihood of Greece's inclusion due to its iconic Wonders, while others expressed a desire for the Incas to be part of the main game. Additional suggestions have included countries such as China and Japan.
The civilizations confirmed so far seem to strike a positive chord with fans. There’s a sense of satisfaction regarding the chosen starting six. One player expressed delight at seeing the Maya feature prominently this time, while another pointed out the well-rounded representation of military and scientific themes in the Indian civilization. With a personal interest in history, the Maurya Empire stands out as an exciting option for exploration.
For those enthusiastic about expanding their knowledge of the six revealed civilizations, the official game website serves as a resource. The wait for players is nearly over, with the highly anticipated strategy game scheduled to launch on February 11 of next year. This countdown leaves merely five months until fans can experience the unique mechanics and gameplay elements of these civilizations firsthand, which feels brief compared to the eight years since the release of Civ 6.
