On September 24th, 2024, Ara: History Untold will be released, Microsoft’s answer to the upcoming Civilization 7. Ara mixes classic 4X gameplay with an extensive crafting system and battle royale elements, but overall remains true to the roots of the Civilization principle – and that’s no wonder, after all, former Civilization developers work at Studio Oxide. In the gameplay, you can see how a few average rounds play and how incredibly fast the round calculation is. Read our test at GameStar Plus if you want to know more, because of course even four minutes can only give an insight into the extensive gameplay. Ara: History Untold is aimed more at genre veterans and costs 60 dollars for the basic version on Steam and the Microsoft Store. It is also included directly in Microsoft’s Game Pass.
