Civilization V | Steam

Civilization V to be released on Steam

The ultimate turn-based strategy game returns

Establish your total supremacy over the world by building a civilisation from its first steps towards space conquest: take part in wars, use diplomacy, discover new technologies, confront or follow the greatest leaders in history and build the most prosperous and powerful empire the world has ever known.

ACCESSIBLE PLAYABILITY : Get started and play at your own pace thanks to an intuitive interface that will guide new players through the game. Regular Civilization players will appreciate the depth, detail and controls for which the series is renowned.

A REALISTIC WORLD: Ultra-detailed graphics highlight the vast, diverse landscapes to be explored and conquered. Art Deco influences feature heavily in the menus and icons of one of the most polished Civilization games in the franchise.

COMMUNITY AND MULTI PLAYER: Compete against Civilization players from around the world or in LANs, create mods* in ways never seen before and install mods directly from the community hub without even leaving the game. Civilization V puts the community at the forefront.

COMPATIBLE WITH MOST PCs: Civilization V runs on many different systems, from high-end DX11 computers to laptops. Enjoy unlimited installs on multiple PCs with your Steam account and take your Civ V with you wherever you go.

ALL NEW FEATURES: A new hexadecimal grid opens up new perspectives on combat and strategy. City-states become a new resource in your diplomacy. An improved diplomacy system lets you negotiate with fully interactive leaders. Custom music and orchestral tracks give Civ V the levels of polish and quality you've come to expect from the franchise.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBLE : 2K Games is donating $250,000 to four charities and users' choices will determine how the money is redistributed: simply make your choice from the charities pre-selected during the installation stage.†

*The modding tool will be available at a later date for free.

† Charity selection available until 31 December 2010. Not valid in all territories.
