They just wouldn\u2019t finish them. And so we wanted to do whatever we could\u2014whether it was reducing micromanagement, restructuring the game\u2014to really address that problem directly,&#8221; said Beach while standing stoically against the backdrop of a US Civil War-era fort.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"8vP3heAXgmpAxGaCbkEknh\" name=\"Exploration-Era_Mongolia-City-02 copy\" alt=\"Civilization 7, featuring the new map and look for Mongolia\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/civilization-7-is-officially-2025s-most-wanted-pc-game-and-creative-director-told-us-how-hes-going-to-get-you-to-finally-finish-a-civ-campaign.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Firaxis)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The solution is to let players make a clean break if they\u2019re starting to feel their attention flagging. It\u2019s a bold design decision, but in Civilization 7, &#8220;you don\u2019t stick with a civilization throughout the entire course of the game,&#8221;, he said. A full campaign is broken up into ages, which are both notable shifts in technology and aesthetics, but also break a single playthrough up into three more easily digestible chapters.<\/p>\n<p>As one age ends and another begins, players will have the option to switch who they\u2019re playing as and continue on as a civilization at the peak of its power and influence. It\u2019s a big option to present to players, but should provide an interesting option to shift gears if you\u2019ve been operating as a quiet background player up until that point, with little opportunity to break into the limelight.<\/p>\n<p>Beach said that this also helps sell the fantasy of experiencing the history of our strange, flawed species: &#8220;We\u2019re challenging players to not look at the history of an empire as something that started in 4000 BC, made it to the present and is going on without end. It\u2019s not very reflective of the way things work in real history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It does sound like players won\u2019t necessarily be leaving <em>everything<\/em> behind if they choose to switch roles midway through a playthrough. This is still Civilization, and you are playing as immortal figureheads that <em>have<\/em> been around since 4000 BC.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"uDcJWGo2TMY3CfXZwCPyZg\" name=\"egypt-1920 copy\" alt=\"Egypt in Civilization 7 from Firaxis Games\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/civilization-7-is-officially-2025s-most-wanted-pc-game-and-creative-director-told-us-how-hes-going-to-get-you-to-finally-finish-a-civ-campaign-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Firaxis)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou can choose science civs from different places in the world and link them together for your playthrough, and we have to figure out how those attach to leaders, which aren\u2019t necessarily hard-wired into civs anymore, but that all becomes part of the long journey that you have building up your empire, and it does feel like one continuous journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a major shift in design, and one that highlights Civilization\u2019s primary role as a singleplayer, solipsistic experience. It also reminds me of more freeform, sandboxy grand strategy games like Crusader Kings, where a single playthrough almost always had the player\u2019s perspective hopping between various characters on their family tree, or even hopping to another tree entirely to experience how you\u2019ve impacted the world from a fresh perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously only having two opportunities to switch per campaign is a bit more restrictive, but it does change what it means to \u2018win\u2019 a game of Civilization.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who absolutely has struggled to finish a Civ campaign, I\u2019m excited to see whether they can pull it off. I never would have expected Firaxis to pull off rebooting XCOM into a less granular digital board game-esque experience, or making social hangouts and deckbuilding the core of a superhero throwdown, but I\u2019ve enjoyed both\u2014as a studio, they seem to excel when they\u2019re taking risks.<\/p>\n<p>Civilization 7 is set to launch on February 11th next year, and you can <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1295660\/Sid_Meiers_Civilization_VII\/\">wishlist it now on Steam<\/a>.
