2K are planning on lifting the lid on the upcoming Civilization VII tonight at Gamescom, including gameplay footage. A release sate is expected to be revealed at the same time, but reliable leaker billbil-kun has beaten them to the punch.

According to billbil-kun, the next entry in the Civilization series will launch on February 11, 2025.

The game will be available in Standard Edition ($69.99 on PS5/Xbox, $59.99 Switch) and Deluxe Edition ($99.99 on PS5/Xbox and $89.99 for Switch) with Deluxe Edition owners getting access to the game five days early. Or Standard Edition owners get access 5 days late, depending on whichever way round you look at it.

Some people are still thinking I stopped leaking stuff because YouTube source was fixed, lol

Anyway,
