Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is set to debut an exciting new VR edition, exclusively tailored for the Quest 3 and 3S, with the launch slated for next week.
This VR adaptation has been crafted by Playside Studios in a unique collaboration with Meta, bringing the widely acclaimed strategy experience to life on April 10th. Players can dive into both solo campaigns and online multiplayer battles against fellow Quest 3 owners.
Just like the beloved PC and console versions, your mission is to steer your chosen nation through the ages. You’ll pick a leader and decide whether to forge alliances or take on other global powers in combat.
For those unfamiliar with the Civilization series, Civilization VII – VR offers a starting point in any age, each presenting its own set of trials and rewards. You might find yourself building your empire’s foundation in the Antiquity Age, discovering new territories during the Exploration Age, or advancing through the technological leaps of the Modern Age.
What truly distinguishes the VR version is its captivating ‘War Table’, adding a new layer of interactivity. This isn’t just any VR support—it’s an experience where you can manipulate the battlefield like a real tabletop game, adjusting your view and strategy with ease.
On this dynamic stage, you’ll face off with rival civilizations—both AI-driven and human. It’s a playing field where diplomacy and warfare intertwine; you can negotiate treaties or prepare for conflict.
Moreover, the game offers both virtual and mixed reality settings. The latter uses passthrough technology, allowing you to overlay the game onto your actual surroundings, offering a more integrated experience.
Civilization VII – VR is currently up for preorder on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and Quest 3S users, priced at $60. Whether you’re strategizing in virtual realms or blending the game into your real-world space, this promises to be a fresh take on a classic favorite.
