Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is about to make its debut in the VR world, landing exclusively on Quest 3 and 3S next week.
Coming from Playside Studios in collaboration with Meta, the VR version of this iconic game is set for release on April 10th. Whether you prefer the solitude of single-player mode or the thrill of online multiplayer with fellow Quest 3 enthusiasts, this game has you covered.
The gameplay mirrors the essence of its PC and console counterparts, tasking you with the responsibility of guiding your nation through history. You’ll select a leader and decide whether to join forces with other world powers or face them as adversaries.
If you’re new to Civilization, Civilization VII – VR offers a chance to choose a starting age, each bringing its own challenges and perks. From laying the groundwork in the Antiquity Age and exploring new territories in the Exploration Age, to achieving technological advancements in the Modern Age, there’s a path for every strategist.
What truly sets the VR edition apart is its immersive ‘War Table.’ It’s more than just a VR feature; it transforms the game into a dynamic tabletop experience. You can direct your civilization’s actions, zoom in and out for a closer look, and adjust the table to get the perfect angle.
During your journey, you’ll engage with rival civilizations and confront both AI and real opponents, testing your diplomatic skills and preparing for possible conflicts. Plus, you can switch between virtual reality and mixed reality modes, the latter letting you maintain awareness of your actual surroundings through passthrough.
For those eyeing this futuristic gameplay experience, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR is up for preorder now on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and Quest 3S, retailing at $60.
