News: Sid Meier plans to "reinvigorate" the turn-based strategy genre.
2K Games has announced that Sid Meier's Civilization V will be released exclusively for the PC on September 21 (with an international release to follow on September 24).
Firaxis Games is once again the development team behind the game they say will change the way people look at turn-based strategy games:
Sid Meier's Civilization V reinvigorates the classic turn-based strategy genre with an astonishing new engine built from the ground-up for this flagship edition of the Civilization franchise. Players are introduced to a heightened tactical combat system; vast, realistic landscapes to explore; deeper diplomatic interactions; and an array of expanded features that deliver a fully immersive experience providing hours of entertainment as players build and defend their empire on their quest to become the greatest ruler the world has ever known. Additionally, the new in-game community hub allows Civ fans to share content and compete against each other without leaving the game, marking a new era that will forever change the Уone more turnФ addiction of the franchise.
We'll have more soon.
