When is the Civilization 7 release date? For over 20 years, the Civilization series has captivated PC gamers with its intricate strategy, forcing players to think about more than just conquering their neighbors. Sometimes, the best victory is by being diplomatically savvy while secretly building massive cultural wonders and hoping nobody notices – especially the nuke-hungry Gandhi.
Now that we’ve had confirmation from Firaxis that Civ 7 is officially in development and the logo of the game briefly appeared on the official 2K website, we’ve been gathering as much information as possible about the next installment of the strategy game series. While it’s still early days, we can at least figure out when you should expect to play it.
Civilization 7 release date
The Civilization 7 release date will be during 2025. This was revealed during a teaser trailer posted at Summer Game Fest 2024.
This came after users Rickreckt on Reddit and Codosbuya on Resetera posted about the appearance of the game’s logo on the 2K Games website. It has since been taken down, but the posters on both forums had captured the logo beforehand.
As part of the trailer, Firaxis or 2K Games confirmed the Civ 7 release date will be in 2025, though it is not yet known exactly when it will be during that year.

A Firaxis job listing has gone out for a new senior manager for product marketing with a “wealth of knowledge about the Firaxis portfolio of titles, especially Civilization.” Firaxis says it is planning “for the future of one of gaming’s most beloved franchises” and needs someone who will work to ensure “Civilization’s continued reign as the best strategy game on Earth.”

We’re not expecting Firaxis to rock the boat in this department too much. After all, the perspective shift from Civ 4’s traditional view of the world map to Civ 5’s hexagonal spaces divided a few fans. However, we already have a Civilization 7 wishlist for everything we’d love the developers to include, such as better AI for tenser diplomatic relations.
That’s everything we know about Civilization 7. While we all wait for the presumably incoming reveal trailer for the latest Firaxis Civ game, try some of the best grand strategy games to get that Civ fix. If you prefer something without global or universal conquest, these turn-based strategy games are a great alternative.
