This Week in Civ is changing shape!
Our weekly recaps are turning monthly! Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean we have less to share, we want each recap to have a little more space to highlight the latest updates, share deeper insights from the team, and paint a fuller picture of the month in review. We’ll still be active here on Steam and Discord with news and announcements as they come but you can expect roundups moving forward to land at the end of each month.
Looking forward, we shared some details in the last update about what’s being worked on for June (please note that as always in development, plans can shift):
- Large & Huge Map Support
- Steam Workshop Support
- Improved Game Setup Options
- New Religious Beliefs and Balance
- New City State Bonuses and Balance
- New Town Specializations and Balance
- Specialist Balance
- Treasure Fleet Improvements
- UI & Quality-of-Life Improvements
We’ll have a check-in on the way to discuss these items in more detail. And finally, we’re looking forward to Civilization VII launching on Nintendo Switch 2 next week on the 5th - so keep an eye out for more news.
