Sid Meier's Civilization VII is the next chapter in the legendary strategy franchise, empowering you to build the greatest empire the world has ever known.

Rule as one of many legendary leaders from throughout history, construct cities and architectural wonders, pursue technological breakthroughs, and conquer or cooperate with rival civilizations as you explore the far reaches of the unknown world.
