Even though each fan of the genre has its favourite game, Civilization VI surpassed all others in terms of innovations, historical accuracy, and varied gameplay mechanics. However, developer Firaxis Games surprises the fans with every new installment and the recent announcement of Civilization VII, which was revealed via a teaser video about a month ago, left a huge fan base waiting to know more. Well, it seems we will not have to wait much longer, because the first video showing Civilization VII gameplay will be released soon.
