The way not-E3 games showcases work is that you open with something attention-getting an unexpected, end with the biggest game of the show, and pack the middling and mundane in the middle.Sid Meier’s Civilization VIIis surely one of the biggest announcements of this year’s (in-progress, as I type this) Summer Game Fest 2024, and yet it was buried in that middle section, as unassuming as Sid himself.

Here’s the teaser trailer:

There’s not a lot known about the game so far, not even any screenshots. It’s coming in 2025, there will be a more robust reveal of its “exciting new features and innovations” in August, and it, uh, contains civilisations? That last one is just me speculating, though.

It doesn’t feel that long ago, but it’s been eight years sinceCivilization 6. Adam called it “a thing of wonder” and a contender for his favourite game of 2016 in hisCivilization 6 review. I’m curious how they’ll find yet another fresh take on the concept.
