- Firaxis has teased something new Civilization 7 features, it is being tested now
- New changes are coming to Legacy Paths and Victories, and continuous civilizations are being introduced
- Firaxis says, “We’re internally testing ways to play as a citizen continuously throughout the ages,” a mechanic that was included in all previous Civ game
Firaxis has shared its plans for Civilization 7‘s post-launch content, which includes an update that has been highly requested since the game’s release.
In its latest blog post, the studio confirmed that it is now testing several new features it plans to add to the game, including “dramatic changes” to Legacy Paths and Victories, as well as the return of a mechanic that allows players to play the same civilization continuously from start to finish.
The feature which was available in all Civilization game before Civ 7but was changed in the latest entry with its new “Ages” system, which requires players to choose a new civilization divided into three ages: Ancient, Exploration, and Modern.
“Many of you have asked for a roadmap detailing our future update plans. This is a very fair question, but we’ve held off on giving too much detail until we knew the significant updates we wanted to make had a clear path forward and were sufficiently fleshed out. We’ve made some good progress here, so I can now share an update on two of the biggest things in motion,” said Firaxis.
“First, we’re testing some dramatic changes to Legacy Paths and Victories in Civ VII. We want to open up the game and provide many new paths for your empire to follow as you achieve greatness and compete for victory.
“Second – and this has been one of the most requested features from players – we are internally testing ways to play as a citizen continuously through the ages, allowing you to choose a civilization from any age and guide them through your journey through history.”
In addition, Firaxis is also starting a new initiative called the Firaxis Feature Workshop, which will invite a small number of players to go hands-on with Civ 7 features in development and provide feedback.
The developer also said that updates will become less frequent as it shifts to testing and iterating on these new changes.
Meanwhile, players can look forward to Patch 1.3.0, which will introduce a sea-themed content pack called The tide of power. This collection will be free for all players and can be claimed from November 4th to January 5th, 2026 on all platforms.
