With less than two months left in 2024, the excitement for 2025 is mounting as numerous major game studios prepare to release top IPs. It looks like 2025 could be one of the most remarkable years for gaming to date. Here, let’s dive into the PC games you can look forward to in 2025!
Civilization 7
Developed by the legendary Firaxis Games team, known for the Civilization and XCOM series, Civilization 7 is a 4X strategy game releasing on February 11, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Switch. The game’s standard, deluxe, and founder’s editions are available for pre-order on Steam for $42, $60, and $78.
Civilization 7 spans three ages: Classical, Exploration, and Modern. Unlike previous games, each Age lasts longer, with more distinct transitions. Players will keep the same leader across the ages but must select a new civilization with each transition, influenced by historical and geographical factors, as well as player choices. Age progression will trigger critical “Era Transitions,” requiring players to make tough decisions about what to preserve within their empire as barbarian threats loom.
