When Civilization 7 launches in 2025, it will arrive in a gaming landscape that looks far different from when the iconic strategy series debuted in 1991. Not only does the strategy genre lack some of the prominence it once possessed, but the ensuing decades have also seen the gaming industry make major strides in providing players with a more inclusive and accurate reflection of the world around them. While the former change may make Civilization 7 a tough sell for players new to the genre, expanding the games roster of nations and leaders to reflect the series global player base could help bring new fans into the fold.
