The Civilization franchise will make its console debut next spring
One of the most popular PC video game franchises will be coming to game consoles in spring 2008, with the release of the latest game in the Sid Meier's Civilization franchise. Similar to previous Civilization games, players will build empires, but with several new twists thrown in. Some of the improvements include "accessible maps and streamlined time scale for quicker gamers, intense combat, and constant action."
Civilization Resolution -- developed by Firaxis Games, published by 2K Games -- is described as "a watershed game, offering players a chance to experience the epic empire-building world of Civilization in an all new accessible, visually immersive, and action-packed world specifically designed for the console and handheld gamer."
The latest game will include 16 civilizations, along with online play that includes integrated video and voice chat.
"Civilization Revolution is the game I've always wanted to make!" said Sid Meier, Firaxis Games Director of Creative Development.
While apparent the game will be for consoles, 2K did not disclose which consoles will be supported. 2K Games did not announce if the game will be coming to PCs.
"Civilization is one of the world's top selling PC game series with more than 8 million units sold, and continues to be recognized as one of the greatest franchises ever created," said Christoph Hartman, 2K Games president. "We are excited to have Sid Meier getting back to his roots as the game's lead designer to carry on its legacy with Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution."
Specific game details remain scarce, and 2K Games remains silent about the project.
