Firaxis Games and Take-Two (2K) have not only brought the latest installment of the Civilization franchise to consoles and PC, they’re also bringing it to virtual reality!

The award-winning Civilization strategy series is coming to virtual and mixed reality for the first time in franchise history. Experience a revolutionary new chapter from Firaxis Games with Sid Meier’s Civilization VII VR, only on Meta Quest 3 and 3S. Take your place at the command table and immerse yourself as you build an empire that will stand the test of time. Chart a course for your people, collaborate with other leaders, research technological breakthroughs, and conquer or cooperate with rival civilizations as you explore the far reaches of the unknown world.

Enjoy Civilization from a unique perspective, whether you’re looking down from high above the map or leaning in to see the finer details of every building and unit. Iconic world leaders surround the command table and react as you forge alliances or declare war. Reach out and take control with a new interface designed for Meta Quest 3 and 3S that lets you change viewpoints at will and bring the Command Table into your environment with dynamic mixed reality. Play solo or compete in online multiplayer matches with up to three other Meta Quest 3 and 3S players.

“Today is truly a milestone for the Sid Meier’s Civilization franchise, as the announcement of Civilization VII VR marks our first entry into the immersive world of virtual and mixed reality. We’re just days away from the full launch of Civilization VII and look forward to ushering in a new era of strategy excellence for our fans,” said Dennis Shirk, Executive Producer of the Civilization franchise, in the press release. Meta games director Chris Pruett added, “With the recent release of Meta Quest 3S and our strongest portfolio of games and entertainment to date, it’s a great time for mixed reality. Civilization VII VR is further evidence of this momentum: it’s a true Civilization experience made specifically for deep strategy fans.”

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII VR will be released this spring for Meta Quest 3 and 3S.
