Civilization VII VR is bringing a new perspective to the series this Autumn
Over the weekend, 2K, Firaxis and local developer PlaySide Studios revealed that Civlizaion VII is coming to Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S devices this Autumn. Check out the reveal trailer below.
In Civilization VII - VR, the world of Civilization is brought to life like never before. The map takes shape atop a Command Table that lets you peer down from high above or lean all the way in to appreciate the finer details of buildings and units, like a tabletop game come to life. Players will chart a course for their people and engage face-to-face with iconic world leaders around the Command Table, each reacting as you forge alliances or declare war through the Ages.
“Today is truly a milestone for the Civ franchise, with the announcement of Civilization VII - VR marking our first entry into the immersive world of virtual and mixed reality. We’re just days away now from the full launch of Civilization VII and look forward to ushering in a new era of strategy excellence for our fans!”
Civilization VII - VR is available to play in either immersive virtual reality or mixed reality, with players able to freely switch between the two at any time.
In virtual reality, players are transported to an ornate museum as they look out onto a vista personalized to their leader; in mixed reality, the Command Table adapts to its placement in a player's physical space. Detailed dioramas can be viewed in The Archives, a room in your museum dedicated to your gameplay achievements displayed in both virtual and mixed reality.
In addition to single player, Civilization VII - VR can compete to rule the world in online multiplayer matches with up to three other Meta Quest 3 and 3S players.
There is no exact release date yet, just Spring 2025 for North America, which is Autumn for us down under.
