| 2K and Firaxis Games today presented the opening cinematic for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII at The Game Awards 2024. During the ceremony, attendees were treated to an epic live orchestral performance accompanying the cinematic, with music specially composed by GRAMMY® Award-winning composer Christopher Tin.
Performed by Civilization VII narrator Gwendoline Christie (“Game of Thrones”, “Star Wars” franchise), the opening cinematic takes viewers on a journey through the ages. As a lone farmer discovers a buried, rusty saber, we see his story unfold. The sword is passed down from one generation to the next, across different cultures and regions of the world, highlighting a central theme of the game: history is built in layers. The full, uncut version of the opening cinematic is available here. In addition to the opening cinematic, Civilization VII‘s main theme, “Live Gloriously“, has also been revealed. “With “Live Gloriously“, I wanted to capture the universal themes of hope, heroism and mortality that have resonated throughout history, shares composer Christopher Tin. You’ll hear words from The Iliad, Beowulf, Popol Vuh and the Ramayana, delivering a magnificent sense of gravity and emotion that embodies the story of humanity.” Sid Meier’s Civilization VII will be released on February 11, 2025 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and Mac and Linux via Steam. Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is currently rated PEGI12. Firaxis Games is a 2K studio. 2K is a publishing division of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc (NASDAQ: TTWO). |
