Civilization 7 Release Date Speculation
At the time of writing, there is no official confirmed release date for Civilization 7, but in this article, you’ll find all (if any) information that the developer shared, as well as some speculation from Ginx on when we could see it launch.
Looking at it from a historical perspective for mainline entries, we can see that the release of Civilization 7 is getting to the "overdue" point.
| Game Title | Release Date |
| Civilization | September 1991 |
| Civilization 2 | February 1996 |
| Civilization 3 | October 2001 |
| Civilization 4 | June 2006 |
| Civilization 5 | November 2010 |
| Civilization 6 | October 2016 |
As you can see, there's roughly a five to six-year gap between releases of mainline Civilization titles. It's been six years since the latest entry, Civilization 6, was released.
Since we don't know when will Civilization 7 (VII) come out officially, our guestimate is that the game won't release for a few years, likely sometime in 2024. It is also important to note that, very likely, we won't hear any news about the game until after the release of Marvel's Midnight Suns on 2nd December 2022.
