You’ll be able to rewrite the course of history in Civilization 7 next year. Firaxis Games showed up during Opening Night Live 2024 with a new trailer and some news — Civilization 7 will launch on just about everything you can play a video game on February 11th, 2025.

Civilization 6 released eight years ago but has received a steady flow of updates and DLC in the intervening years. Firaxis Games announced it was working on a new Civilization game in February of last year. Since then, the studio has been slowly rolling out the details, debuting a teaser trailer during this year’s Summer Game Fest and now a new release date trailer for Gamescom 2024. If this trailer isn’t enough for all the 4X fanatics in the house, Firaxis has even more to share, hosting a 20-minute gameplay deep dive on Twitch at 4:30PM ET later today.

Civilization 7 launches February 11th on PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
