Something to look forward to:<\/strong> Given how long it’s been since the last entry, it’s about time we started hearing about another Civilization game. The franchise’s developer, Firaxis, also announced some high-level departures two months after the launch of its last game \u2013 the well-regarded Marvel’s Midnight Suns. <\/p>\n

This week, Firaxis confirmed<\/a> the development of another entry in its legendary 4X strategy franchise. There are no details yet; it didn’t even say if it’s Civilization 7 or a spinoff game. However, the company will be making the game without studio head Steve Martin.<\/p>\n

Martin, who spent 27 years at Firaxis, expressed gratitude in a farewell message the studio shared<\/a> on Twitter. His replacement is Heather Hazen, previously the studio’s Chief Operating Officer. Before joining Firaxis in 2020, Hazen was an executive producer on Fortnite, Plants vs Zombies, and Bejeweled.<\/p>\n

The last full Civilization release was Sid Meier’s Civilization VI in 2016, the 31-year-old franchise’s top-selling game. The title received many expansions over the following years, the last of which was 2019’s Gathering Storm. Civilization VI creative director Ed Beach will helm the next entry.<\/p>\n

Also departing Firaxis is XCOM and Marvel’s Midnight Suns designer Jake Solomon. After 23 years with the company, Solomon said<\/a> he is pursuing a new dream and starting a new chapter.<\/p>\n

While the XCOM series is popular, Solomon said last month that he wasn’t working on a new entry, likely due to his impending departure. The most recent entries in the franchise were 2016’s XCOM 2 and Chimera Squad, which launched in 2020.<\/p>\n

Since then, turn-based tactics fans seem to be satisfied with Marvel’s Midnight Suns, which Firaxis released in December to positive critical reception. It was PC Gamer’s 2022 runner-up Game of the Year. Lauded for its combination of Marvel comic book superheroes with XCOM-like tactical RPG gameplay, the game is free to try<\/a> on Steam this weekend. Customers can purchase the title during the promotion for 40 percent off.<\/p>\n

The discount is part of a sale<\/a> publisher 2K is running. Civilization VI is 90 percent off, while the complete collection, containing the game and all its expansions, is 86 percent off. That’s a potential savings of $180. Chimera Squad and XCOM 2 are just $5 each. The sale also includes other 2K games, including Borderlands, Mafia, and many of its sports titles.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
