About Sid Meier's Civilization® VII

Sid Meier's Civilization VII opens a revolutionary new chapter in the award-winning strategy franchise, empowering you to build the greatest empire the world has ever known. Your strategic decisions shape the unique cultural lineage of an evolving civilization, and you rule as one of many legendary leaders drawn from history, steering your story by selecting a new civilization to represent your empire in each Age of human advancement.

You construct cities and architectural wonders to expand your territory, improve your civilization through technological breakthroughs, and either conquer or cooperate with rival civilizations as you explore the far reaches of an unknown world. The experience can be pursued as an immersive solo journey or shared with others in online multiplayer. Whether you follow a path grounded in history or reimagine the possibilities to chart your own course, the goal is to build something you believe in and leave a legacy that echoes through the Ages.

A defining feature is the way you lead your empire through distinct Ages of human history, each a rich, nuanced journey with its own playable civilizations, available resources, explorable land, and even entire gameplay systems. That structure creates a deep, historically immersive strategy and simulation experience on PC, one that rewards ambition across scientific, cultural, and militaristic pursuits alike.
