Civilization 7 has just announced its update roadmap and it looks awesome. For those not in the know, Civilization 7 is the latest installment in the timeless Sid Meier’s Civilization series having just released last February 11. The game is continuously aiming to improve and fortunately for us, Firaxis is more than willing to share the upcoming fixes and improvements.

Civilization 7 Update Roadmap Details

Update 1.2.0 To Release This April

Detailed in the roadmap above are the upcoming releases on March 25 and April. Although the dates for the updates after this month are still vague, it’s good to know that the developers, Firaxis, are aiming to fix known issues in the game. Furthermore, the addition of balances and features are to be expected.

• New Natural Wonder to discover: Bermuda Triangle (free to all players)
• Additional UI adjustments, polish, and addressing of reported issues
