VR Edition of ‘Civilization VII’ Launching Exclusively on Quest 3 Next Week; Watch the Gameplay Trailer Now

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is set to make its grand entrance into the world of virtual reality, targeting VR enthusiasts with its exclusive release on Quest 3 and 3S. Fans can look forward to diving into this immersive version next week.

The game is the brainchild of Playside Studios in collaboration with Meta, and it promises to deliver an exciting experience right to your Quest on April 10th. Whether you’re in the mood for solo play or itching to challenge other Quest 3 players in multiplayer mode, Civilization VII – VR has you covered.

Just like its predecessors available on PC and consoles, the primary mission remains the same: steer your chosen nation through the annals of time. You’ll have the opportunity to select a leader and either forge crucial alliances or engage in epic battles against other global powers.

For newcomers, Civilization VII – VR offers a fresh start by allowing the choice of different historical ages, each brimming with its own set of tasks and perks. You can delve into the Antiquity Age to lay down your empire’s cornerstone, set sail during the Exploration Age to discover uncharted territories, or embrace the innovations of the Modern Age focused on technology and industry.

What really sets the VR version apart is the introduction of the ‘War Table’. This immersive feature allows you to feel like you’re playing a grand board game, where you can zoom in, pull back, and tilt the field for optimal strategy planning.

Engage in strategic maneuvers with rival civilizations up close, and go head-to-head with both artificial intelligences and real-life players. Whether you prefer to negotiate treaties of peace or gear up for combat, this version has it all.

Furthermore, players can enjoy both virtual and mixed reality settings. The mixed reality mode uses passthrough technology to blend your real-world environment with the game, adding an extra layer of immersion to your experience.

Pre-orders for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR are already live on the Horizon Store. It caters specifically to Quest 3 and Quest 3S users, with a price tag of $60. Don’t miss the chance to lead your empire in this groundbreaking new format!
