June’s big Civilization 7 announcement was pretty light – by which I mean completely devoid of – detail. But that’s about to change, with developer Firaxis having now revealed it’ll be showcasing first gameplay of its latest 4X strategy title later this month.
First, viewers will get a taste of Civ 7 during this year’s Gamescom Opening Night Live, which – in case your diary isn’t up-to-date – is airing from 7pm BST/11am PT on 20th August.
But! Firaxis will then be airing a far more substantial chunk of gameplay once Opening Night Live comes to an end. Specifically, Civ fans can expect to see “more than” 20 minutes of gameplay – and hear Civ 7’s development team share “exclusive insights” on its “innovative new features” – from 9.30pm BST/1.30pm PT on 20th August.
