We have always cared deeply about player feedback, and since launch, it has helped guide every update for Civ VII. Many of the features we're exploring next come directly from your requests, and we want to make sure we get them right.

The Firaxis Feature Workshop is a new community-focused, collaborative space to gather early input directly from our community on in-development game features. This program invites a select number of dedicated fans to share their feedback earlier than ever!

(Submissions for the player-interest form are now closed, but there will be more chances to join in the future.)

We will continue listening to and ingesting community feedback from all sources. A significant number of the updates already made to Civ VII are results of players making their voices heard, and we want to keep ensuring all of those same perspectives continue to be heard outside of the workshop while we refine this game and others in the future.

As we shift into a slower patch cadence over the holidays, we are looking to use this time to test upcoming features that we're very excited about. Some of these elements we're eager to receive your feedback on are changes to Legacy Paths and Victories, and a new (optional) way to play as the same civ through the Ages! 

To that end, civ-switching is an important part of the game and isn’t going anywhere. We also recognize that many players want to play as the same civ through an entire campaign. We’re currently working on ways to achieve this that also ensure playing as the same civ in all Ages is viable, fun, and interesting. We’re excited to test these overhauled features out in this collaborative program, and your feedback will be an important part of helping us achieve those goals.

While we evolve these key systems, our focus remains on strengthening the experience of Civilization VII while retaining its unique identity within the Civilization franchise. We can't wait to bring that vision into reality and build something we all believe in, together.
