Just a few days ahead of the launch of Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, 2K Studios has shared that a VR edition of the strategy game will be coming to the Meta Quest 3 (priced at $499.99 on Amazon) and Quest 3S VR headsets.
Exciting New Features
The title will officially be known as Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – VR, marking the first time this franchise has been introduced for virtual and mixed reality devices. Set for a Spring 2025 release, this game will be exclusive to the two Meta headsets mentioned earlier.
2K Games mentions that gamers can select between a fully immersive VR experience or a mixed reality setting. In the immersive mode, players will engage in gameplay set in a beautifully designed museum while enjoying a view tailored to their chosen leader. Conversely, mixed reality mode allows the command table to adjust to any surface in the player’s real environment.
Diplomatic Interactions
An intriguing aspect of Civilization VII – VR is that players can participate in face-to-face diplomatic sessions with other leaders from around the globe. Additionally, users can access The Archives, a unique area that showcases significant moments and achievements from their civilization as dioramas.
The VR version also has a speedier gameplay default compared to the PC version, enabling players to complete an entire age in one session. Nevertheless, there is the flexibility to adjust the speed according to individual preferences.
Multiplayer Options
Civilization VII – VR will feature both single-player and multiplayer (co-op and competitive) modes. The multiplayer aspect allows interaction with up to three other players using a Quest 3 or Quest 3S headset. In this mode, friends and competitors will appear as their selected world leaders positioned next to the command table.
While 2K Games and Meta have not disclosed the price for Civilization VII – VR yet, players can now wishlist the game on the Meta Horizon Store.
