Civ 7 Update 1.1.0 Release Date Revealed with Exciting New Features!

Following the debut of “Civilization 7,” Firaxis Games has consistently provided information about upcoming patches and enhancements. Now, it’s official: Update 1.1.0 for “Civilization 7” will be available on March 4th for both PC and console platforms. This significant update is a response to several community requests and will incorporate numerous fixes. Firaxis Games announced this patch release date in conjunction with their new development plan, which offers a comprehensive look at future updates planned for the game.

In the upcoming 1.1.0 update, you’ll find improvements and fixes in the game’s user interface, as well as solutions to multiplayer problems. Before the detailed patch notes are released, Firaxis Games have given us a sneak peek at some of the major changes that will be implemented with this update:

1. Enhancements to UI (User Interface)
2. Fixes for multiplayer concerns
3. Further details will be revealed in the full patch notes

  • New Natural Wonder to discover: Bermuda Triangle (free to all players)
  • Additional UI adjustments, polish, and addressing of reported issues
  • Significant changes to the Modern Age’s Cultural Legacy Path and Victory; AI leaders will also be better at completing a Cultural Victory (so expect fewer Explorer Unit stacks!)
  • Now able to convert Holy Cities in the Exploration Age. Note that when players create their own Missionary Units, they will always follow the player’s chosen Religion
  • Naval Units will be able to disperse Coastal Independent Powers
  • Balance pass on several Mementos
  • Refinements to the Army Unpacking action
  • Addressing reported issues with multiplayer and adding friends with a 2K Account
  • For console players: all prior updates from Update 1.0.1 Patches 1, 2, and 3 will be implemented, in addition to the items noted above

In addition to announcing these impending adjustments, Firaxis Games has opted to push back the initial in-game event for “Civilization 7.” Initially slated for March 4th, the Natural Wonder Battle event will be rescheduled as the team concentrates on enhancing the overall user experience. Update 1.1.0 represents the first phase of a larger development plan, which Firaxis Games unveiled on February 27th.

Civilization 7 Development Roadmap Overview

In a few days, the upcoming major update for “Civilization” will be rolled out by Firaxis Games. Alongside this, they have disclosed their objectives for several forthcoming updates of “Civilization 7”. This forms part of their long-term development strategy, detailing what’s to come after the 1.1.0 update, all the way through April and beyond. Interestingly, Firaxis Games has even penciled in a tentative date for update 1.1.1 – slated for release on March 25th, assuming everything goes smoothly.

Here is what Civilization 7 fans can expect from update 1.1.0 when it arrives later on in March:

  • Additional UI improvements and refinements; specifics will be shared later with the Update 1.1.1 Notes
    • Note: Ongoing improvements to the User Interface continue to be a top priority for the development team. The updates being introduced on March 25 are just one part of a much larger plan that aims to improve the UI over the next several months. 
  • Scouting and Settling improvements for AI, including less aggressive “forward” settling by AI
  • Adding Quick Move functionality
  • Adding the ability to customize the names of Commanders and Cities
  • Renaming the existing maps to be “Start Position: Balanced,” which will be the default Start Position setting for multiplayer games
  • Adding a new Start Position of “Standard,” where the landforms on maps are less predictable, closer to how map generation works in Civ VI
  • Adding an optional Restart button that rerolls the player’s map generation now that these less predictable start positions are possible
  • New Natural Wonder: Mount Everest (free to all players)

After that, Firaxis provided a broader look at their development plan and what’s in store next. Their focus will be on enhancing the user interface of Civilization 7, modifying map dimensions, and offering additional tools and resources for gamers. It’s evident that Firaxis Games has ambitious plans to continually refine its latest Civilization game, taking player feedback into account.
