Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is set to make its debut in the virtual reality space soon, targeting the exclusive realm of Quest 3 and 3S users. This new VR experience crafted by Playside Studios in collaboration with Meta is scheduled for launch on April 10th. Whether you prefer solo adventures or thriving in the competitive world of online multiplayer, you’ll find both opportunities await you with fellow Quest 3 players.
As with the beloved PC and console versions, your mission is to steer your chosen nation through the annals of time. You’ll have the chance to select a leader and decide whether to forge alliances or engage in epic battles with other global powers.
For those who haven’t had the pleasure of diving into the Civilization series, Civilization VII – VR offers a rich, engaging experience. You’ll start by choosing a historical age, each bringing its own set of challenges and opportunities. From laying the groundwork during the Antiquity Age to discovering unknown lands in the Exploration Age, or spurring innovation in the Modern Age, each period offers endless possibilities.
One of the standout features of this VR version is its interactive ‘War Table’. This aspect enhances the experience by allowing players to manage their civilizations in a style reminiscent of a classic tabletop game. You’ll have the ability to zoom in and out and tilt the table as needed to get the best views for your strategy. Here, you’ll face off against both computerized and human adversaries, giving you ample opportunity to hone your diplomatic skills or prepare for conflict.
Another exciting feature is the inclusion of both virtual reality and mixed reality modes. The latter uses passthrough technology to give you a glimpse of your actual surroundings inside the game, adding an extra layer of immersion.
If you’re eager to experience this VR adaptation of a classic, you can pre-order now through the Horizon Store. It’s priced at $60 and sure to enrich your gaming experience with its innovative blend of virtual and mixed real-world gameplay.
