Civilization 6 is a historical turn-based strategy game where players can choose one from 18 world civilizations, including the Americans, the Chinese, the Egyptians, and many more. You will have to lead your civilizations all the way from the Stone Age into the Space Age, according to Tom's Guide.
You can also choose to conquer your enemies through military might or lead the world in scientific achievement. On the other hand, you can become a utopia for artists and philosophers. The game features a ton of customization options and can be as relaxing or as demanding as you want it to be.

The Civilization games are among the most popular and the entire franchise is a long-running series that has a lot of history, pun intended. It features humanity's most influential cultures and you are tasked with guiding them through centuries of history while keeping your own goal in mind.
Civilization 6 was initially released in 2016 and has since had a ton of DLC updates that featured new scenarios, rising and falling civilizations, natural disasters, and more. For those who have not yet played the game, there is a lot for you to unpack.
Civilization 7 is Coming in 2025
Your main goals are to build cities, raise armies, research new technologies, and either become a conqueror or a trader. Because Civilization 6 is a turn-based strategy game, nothing ever really gets too overwhelming for you to address, said PCGamesN.
Other than the latest currently available game in the franchise, other titles in the Civilization series are also on sale. Civilization 5 and Civilization 3 are now discounted by 92% and 80%, respectively. This allows you to go back in time and watch the series evolve at a much cheaper price.
The sale comes as Civilization 7's announcement came in the form of a cinematic teaser trailer that did not show off any gameplay footage. There is very little information out right now about the game and even screenshots have not yet been shared by the developer.
It was also revealed that more details about the latest game in the franchise will be revealed in August, alongside its "exciting new features and innovations."
The teaser trailer during the Summer Game Fest was followed by a brief to-camera segment from Sid Meier himself but he did not say anything of note, according to Rock Paper Shotgun.
