Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth Lands This Fall

I have been playing the Civilization games from Sid Meier for years. I particularly liked Civilization V that launched most recently in the series, and still play that game frequently. If you are a fan of the franchise, a new game is coming in late 2014 that you can look forward to. The game is called Civilization: Beyond Earth.

Unlike the other games in the franchise that have had us evolving our civilizations over time up until the space-faring age when the game ends, Beyond Earth starts there. Players will get to colonize other worlds with their civilizations.

Players will get to lead factions to alien worlds where they can make colonies. The planets will change based on the player actions. Beyond Earth will also feature nonlinear technology progression, deep customization, and more. There is always the chance that the game will be delayed, but I hope not I am looking forward to playing this game when it hits this holiday season. You can pre-order Civilization: Beyond Earth now for $49.99(USD).

Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth In Development

Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth In DevelopmentThe folks over at 2K and Firaxis Games have announced that Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth is being developed by the latter for Windows-based machines. Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth happens to be a brand new science fiction-themed entry in the Civilization franchise, where it will also eventually make its way to the Mac and Linux platforms via Aspyr Media. Touted for a release later this fall, Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth will see players embark on an expedition from Earth all the way to a whole new frontier, where they will need to explore and colonize an alien planet, and of course, create a new civilization along the way.

    Details of Civilization-based MMORPG emerge, you may not get to play it

    Details of the Civilization-based MMORPG emerge, you might not get to play it

    Sure, you’ve controlled minions and vast armies in the Civilization games, but here’s your chance to actually be one of those underlings — at least if you live in South Korea. Civilization Online, announced late last year, is an in-development MMORPG title set in the Civ universe, and Massively has learned some of its finer details from the folks at XL Games and 2K Games (the companies crafting it in CryEngine 3). At the start, players will join one of four societies, and all will have to work together to expand across the sandbox environment and progress through the ages.

    Unlike most MMOs, there will come a time when one civilization achieves certain goals and effectively “wins,” at which point the world will reset. Although combat is a part of the game, societies will also need to research, build and do various other things to become number one, much like the traditional strategy titles. Head to the source link for more info on the specifics, but don’t get too excited — Civilization Online will be launching first in Korea, and there are currently “no plans for a North American release.” Not used to things being out of your control, are you?
