For more than 30 years Sid Meier invited us to conquer the world without leaving home. Now, for the first time in its long history, we propose to do so from a new perspective: Civilization VII officially arrives at virtual reality with a completely optimized version and accommodated to the format. A surprise ad, but with the same claim with which this new installment will disembark to PC and consoles next week: lead the shift strategy genre In all systems. Not only in 2025, but for the next ten years.
The first is the first: Civilization VII VR It is not a “VR mode” for the PC edition, but a separate game, created to take advantage of the virtual reality technology and mixed reality of Quest 3 and goal Quest 3 S. as shown the games are identical, but The game experience has redesigned from top to bottomincluding its own interface, a special control system or the fact that the map gains a very interesting diorama aspect on a table. Something really promising that will invite us to play both sitting and standing.
As expected, Civilization VII VR It will offer both solo and online multiplayer games for up to four players (we and three more), although we want Other Meta Quest 3 and 3s players. Moreover, we can use our goal avatar in the games.
Regarding the gameplay, The interface of Civilization VII Although taking advantage of several of the ideas that were used for traditional control systems, such as the use of shares and shortcut systems. However, and being fair, the level of detail of the maps or units does not seem as elaborate as seen in the PC and consoles versions of this delivery. That said, what has turned Civilization In a worship saga they are not precisely their graphics.
In any case, the promise of offering a game both virtual and mixed reality is truly interesting: as shown we can turn any room instantly into a completely interactive battle table, although if we prefer other views, virtual environments inspired by virtual environments have been created the peoples represented in the game itself. A detail.
From here, Firaxis leaves some doubts around the air Civilization VII VR. We do not know if the same contents will be offered, if there are post-launch plans as in the PC and consoles versions and, although it is already possible to add it to our desired list From the tenta Questits price (for the moment) is an unknown. What we do know is that This same spring will be releasedwhich implies that it could leave in a few weeks or within three months. Look how you look, you won't have to wait long.
In the strategy games time time is more valuable than gold itself. Maybe that's why Firexis and 2K do not expect that Civilization VII He goes on sale to give this pleasant surprise to fans and users of virtual reality. For its part, the seventh installment of the best shift strategy saga will officially go on sale February 11, 2025 On PC, in addition to the PlayStation, Xbox and Switch consoles. And be careful, if you want to play your first turn, you will be interested in knowing that Civilization VII It is already available as an early access through special editions.
