“Having celebrated its 23rd anniversary last year, Civilization has cemented its reputation as one of the greatest and longest running franchises in video game history,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. The game will also come to Mac and Linux via developer Aspyr Media.

2K showed off its new trailer at the PAX East game fan event over the weekend. The is the first new major Civ game since Civilization V debuted in 2010.

Players will also play on a new orbital layer, where they can deploy advanced military, economic, and scientific satellites that provide strategic offensive, defensive, and support capabilities from orbit. There will be quests related to the fiction of each planet, and the game will have side missions that aid in the collection of resources, upgrading of units, and advancing in the game. The new path will be nonlinear and involve different broad themes, each with a distinct victory condition. The tech tree will be different from past games, where you followed one invention or discovery after another. Players will have to build outposts, unearth ancient alien relics, tame new forms of life, develop flourishing cities, and establish trade routes to create prosperity for their people. The alien world will have its own ecosystem, dangerous terrain, mystical resources, and hostile life forms. Those starting choices will directly impact starting conditions when arriving on a new planet. Players will establish a cultural identity, select a leader, and sponsor an expedition by assembling the spacecraft, cargo, and colonists. They can opt for new gameplay possibilities such as nonlinear technological progression, deeper customization of factions, and unique alien worlds. Players will be in charge of factions with contrasting cultures and will evolve their people based on a chosen destiny. Whereas most past Civs began in the ancient times, this sci-fi edition will pit players against each other as they try to survive the leap to the frontier in space.
