Exciting news for strategy game enthusiasts: Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is set to hit PCs and consoles on February 11th. But here’s an intriguing twist: developer Firaxis and publisher 2K Games have announced that a unique version of the game will also make its debut on the Quest platform this coming spring.
This exclusive Quest version is crafted specifically for Meta Quest 3 and 3S. It offers players the chance to construct their own civilization from a first-person viewpoint, providing a unique experience of towering over maps in both virtual and mixed reality modes.
The virtual reality adventure, aptly named Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR, is being developed by PlaySide Studios with 2K overseeing its publication. Gamers can look forward to engaging in both solo gameplay and online multiplayer matches, accommodating up to three additional players using Quest 3 and 3S devices.
What’s set to make this iteration truly captivating is how it brings the familiar cast of world leaders to life. You’ll be thrust into direct interaction with them, witnessing firsthand their responses as you decide to forge alliances or declare wars.
While a specific date hasn’t been nailed down, 2K has graciously provided the broader launch window of spring 2025, an announcement made during this past weekend’s Civ World Summit event. For those eager to get their hands on this immersive experience, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR is already available for wishlisting on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
