Civilization VII. If you read Being Digital, a book published by Nicholas Negroponte in 1995, you will remember the section “Compressing 100,000 Bits into 1” in which he stated that in a context shared by two people, the minimum unit of information (the blink of an eye, in the example that I stated) could be “decompressed” and provide a huge amount of information. Well, that’s what I did by putting the name of the game right at the beginning of this text without saying more. And I can think of a few people (especially my friend Carlos) for whom the mere mention of Civilization brings back everything from the massive beating he gave me the first time we played FreeCiv to what he once said to me about uninstalling the game weeks before exams. during the university.

For those who did not like this saga, please clarify that we are talking about what it probably is the most significant franchise in the history of the turn-based strategy genre. Of course, this means that some will like it and others will despise it, as we are talking about a type of game that is not for everyone. Those who like it, even if they are critical of some of the changes it has undergone over time, are sure to be very familiar with the phrase “a few more innings and I’m going to bed.”

So things are the release of a new version is good-bad news. Good because of course it’s a game they (we) like and bad because Dyson vacuums wish they had the suction capacity that Civ has. In other words, some of us have already started clearing our agenda for the next months after the latest news.

As you may remember, last year we had official confirmation that Firaxis was already on it, and now we know Civilization VII is set to be officially unveiled at the Summer Games Fest. And although it has already been removed, for a few hours the game’s banner reflecting ReadWrite is displayed on the 2K website.

The good news is that it does We will have to wait a few hours for official confirmationand the fact is that SGF 2024 will take place tonight at 23:00 (Spanish peninsular time) which will kick off what has been called No-E3 for the last two years and which is nothing but something like. events focused on the world of video games take place in the month of June and thus cover the space left after the defunct E3 trade fair.
