Gamescom Opening Night Live host Geoff Keighley has announced the first game set to take the expo's live event stage on 20th August 2024: it's Civilization VII. Keighley first revealed the game during Summer Game Fest, and now the first gameplay unveiling is set for the Cologne show.
On the same day, two and a half hours after the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase is set to begin, Firaxis Games will then present a 20-minute developer deep dive. The team will be sharing «exclusive insights» into «this revolutionary new chapter in the franchise, including our vision for the game as well as its innovative new features. For a one-stop shop on everything Civilization VII, you'll definitely want to catch this one live!» There'll then be a Civilization VII booth at Gamescom — though, it's not clear whether the game will actually be playable — and then a panel will take place at PAX West on 31st August 2024, hosted by Greg Miller of Kinda Funny.
Firaxis Games concluded: «August is just the first step in our journey. Thank you for being the best fans in the world. We can't wait to show you Civilization VII and take one more turn together.» The seventh entry is confirmed for PS5 and PS4, with a view to releasing next year.
