Ever since the announcement that Firaxis Games had begun work on Civilization 7, fans of the franchise have speculated about what’s next for the strategy series. While it’s safe to assume that there will be a slew of new features in Civilization 7 whenever the game arrives, to keep the franchise feeling fresh, Firaxis needs to ensure that one long-overdue quality-of-life feature makes the final cut. Although the slow, methodical gameplay is what has kept some fans coming back for over 30 years, Civilization 7 needs to finally give players the option to enjoy the game at their own pace by adding an accelerated time feature.
