Civilization VII has scored a massive new update
2K and Firaxis have announced that a large update for Civilization VII has been released, bringing the game up to version 1.2.0, with the vast majority of content inspired by player feedback.
Due to the sheer number of updates included in the patch, we are not going to list all the updates here, however you can find them here. The other thing of note is that the update is out now for PC, PlayStation and Xbox platforms, but the Nintendo Switch version will get the update in June, here is why:
Update 1.2.0 won’t be available on Switch just yet, and will be incorporated into our June update when Civilization VII releases on Nintendo Switch 2. We know that’s frustrating, and we appreciate your patience. This extra time allows us to make sure everything will be working as intended for existing Nintendo Switch players, while laying the groundwork for an upgrade path for the future Nintendo Switch 2 release and support for cross-platform DLC ownership.
It is nice that the update is still on the way, but it sucks that they are going to impact one platform, to accommodate a new platform. This is not going to be an issue for those Switch players who are going for a Switch 2, but for those who are not updating, it just looks bad.
The update is massive, but perhaps the biggest addition for players is the addition of the “Just one more turn” button, which can be pressed at the end of the modern age. This is what the developers have said for the update:
At this point in the game, a victory has already been won, so all other victories will be disabled during this game mode and the Age Progress indicator will turn into an infinity symbol. However, you can still complete the steps for other victories, get the cinematics, and experiment with your empire if you just want to see it play out. You’ll even still be able to grab Legacy Path achievements if you haven’t already. If you do choose to end your endless game, you can do so by selecting “No More Turns” in the game menu!
The update is out now for most platforms, but these things do roll out over the day, so if you don’t see it yet, jsut give it a bit of time.
