The Case for Civilization 7 to Be a Franchise Reboot

When it comes to grand strategy franchises, there are few quite so beloved or renowned as Civilization. Debuting all the way back in 1991, the Civilization franchise was an almost immediate success when it initially launched for the PC, and the franchise has only continued to grow from there, with new entries popping up pretty consistently every few years since. The franchise gained substantial traction with the release of Civilization 5, remaining a must-have PC game throughout the early 2010s. Then Civilization 6 brought a whole new audience to the franchise thanks to its console ports. Now, the stage has been set perfectly for Civilization 7.
