The world premiere of Civilization VII gameplay will happen at gamescom. With a slot at Opening Night Live, a gameplay panel after the show on 2K's own Twitch channel and a demo in gamescom Hall 6, European players get a headstart on the game before it's exhibited on PAX West at the end of August.

The world premiere of gameplay for Sid Meier's Civilization VII will debut at Gamescom Opening Night Live on 20 August, the publisher says. Shortly after the show at 22:30 o’clock, the publisher will share more gameplay on its own Twitch channel. Furthermore, the game will be shown on gamescom from 21 to 25 August at 2K’s booth, located in Hall 6.

Directly after gamescom, Civilization VII will also be exhibited at PAX West from 30 August onward in Seattle, USA. A special panel there is planned for 30 August in Main Theater on the 5th floor of the Summit Building and through the official PAX channel on Twitch.
