There's already quite a bit of hype surrounding Civilization 7. Technically announced via a press release last February, Civilization 7 is now set for a 2025 release date, and its recent Summer Game Fest announcement trailer did a solid job of kicking the game's marketing cycle into first gear. A franchise that's been around since the early 1990s, Civilization has a long legacy behind it, and while the upcoming 7th installment feels like a known quantity to many fans, the new entry is targeting a much wider demographic.
