How Civilization 7 Could Be a Big Step Forward for the Franchise

The Civilization franchise made its triumphant debut in 1991, and despite being around for over three decades now, the series’ general formula has largely stayed pretty much the same. The first Civilization game tasked players with choosing a nation, and leading it to one of several different possible victory conditions, all while managing individual military units and building up cities to make them more efficient. And though it’ll all look suitably modern, with plenty of new bells and whistles, it’s likely that Civilization 7 will follow essentially the same formula just as the rest of the franchise has before it.
