A gameplay showcase for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is coming later this month, 2K has confirmed.

The first gameplay footage will be shown during the Opening Night Live show at Gamescom, which starts at 11am PT / 4pm ET / 7pm BST on August 20.

This Showcase will starts at 1.30pm PT / 6.30pm ET / 9.30pm BST on August 20 and will last more than 20 minutes, with 2K promising ” exclusive insights and deep dives across new features and innovations”.

Players attending Gamescom on August 21-25 will then be able to see the game in action at the official Civilization VII booth in Hall 6.

The seventh game in the Civilization series was officially announced in June during the Summer Game Fest showcase.

Civilization VII will be released in 2025, and will be released on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.

“The award-winning strategy game franchise returns with a revolutionary new chapter,” 2K’s promotional blurb reads. “Sid Meier’s Civilization VII empowers you to build the greatest empire the world has ever known.

““Rule as one of many legendary leaders from throughout history. Establish your civilization, construct cities and architectural wonders to expand your territory, conquer or cooperate with rival civilizations in pursuit of prosperity, and explore the far reaches of the unknown world. Will you build an empire that stands the test of time?

“Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is a 4X strategy game developed by the legendary team at Firaxis Games, developers of the Civilization and XCOM franchises.”
