Experience ‘Civilization VII’ in VR: Exclusive Quest 3 Launch Next Week with New Gameplay Trailer

Sid Meier’s iconic Civilization series is venturing into new territory with its latest release, Civilization VII, which is about to make a big splash in the virtual reality space. This highly-anticipated VR edition is designed specifically for Quest 3 and the more advanced Quest 3S, slated to launch next week, April 10th.

Teaming up with Meta, the folks at Playside Studios have crafted an immersive experience that lets players dive into the epic strategy game like never before. Whether you’re running a solo campaign or joining forces in online multiplayer battles with other Quest 3 users, you’ll find yourself stepping into a world where every decision shapes history.

The core gameplay remains true to the franchise. You take the reins of a budding nation, picking from a selection of leaders, and navigate the complex geopolitics of history. You’ll make alliances, wage wars, and lead your people to greatness, just like in the classic PC and console versions.

For newcomers, Civilization VII – VR offers a fascinating journey through different eras. Players select a starting age, each brimming with its own set of hurdles and triumphs. From laying down roots during the Antiquity Age, expanding horizons in the Exploration Age, to driving innovation in the Modern Age, each era challenges and rewards strategic thinking.

What truly makes the VR version stand out is the innovative ‘War Table’. It’s an experience that captures the essence of a tabletop game, allowing you to command your civilization with a bird’s-eye view. You can easily zoom in for a closer look or tilt the table to change your perspective, making the strategy game more interactive and engaging than ever before.

Within this dynamic setting, you’ll face off against rival civilizations, whether they’re controlled by the game’s AI or actual human opponents. In this realm of VR, diplomacy and strategic planning are your best tools, whether to broker peace treaties or prepare for battle.

Civilization VII – VR is also embracing both virtual and mixed reality modes. The mixed reality mode, which makes use of passthrough technology, allows you to remain aware of your physical environment even as you plot and strategize.

Ready to jump into this new age of strategy gaming? You can preorder Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR now from the Horizon Store for your Quest 3 or Quest 3S. It’s priced at $60, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure in the world of VR.
