Civilization 7 Will be 2K’s Reveal at Summer Game Fest, Not Borderlands 4 – Rumour

gamingbolt.com:

2K announced last month that it was going to announce the next instalment in one of its biggest and most popular franchises at Summer Game Fest, and rumours and speculation about what that game will be has been rife since then. Though there was some speculation at first that Mafia 4 could be announced soon, though known leaker Kurakasis claimed earlier this week that 2K was set to announce Borderlands 4 at the showcase.

Now, however, it seems like that won’t be the case. As spotted by a user on ResetEra, a banner image for the unannounced Civilization 7 was recently spotted on the official 2K Games website shortly before being pulled, suggesting that the next iteration in the beloved 4X strategy series will be announced soon, eight years on from the previous game’s release.

Since then, the aforementioned leaker Kurakasis has also retracted their recent claims, taking to Twitter and the Exputer forums to state that they can no longer verify that Borderlands 4 is going to be announced at Summer Game Fest, further suggesting that Civilization 7 is likely the game that 2K is set to announce at the event later today.

We’ll know either way soon enough. Summer Game Fest kicks off in a few hours’ time at 2 PM Pacific, so stay tuned for more updates through the day.

I decided to publish information, as seen on eXputer forums, that Borderlands 4 would be announced at the Summer Game Fest too early, and I can no longer guarantee, as before, that such an announcement will take place.

I made a mistake and apologize to <a href=«https://twitter.com/XputerE?ref_src=» https:>@XputerE

, which trusted me based on the accuracy of my previous ‘leaks’, to eXputer’s readers, and to everyone who came across this news.

I believe it was important to clarify the situation ahead of time so readers are not misled.
