Firaxis, the game development studio responsible for the popular Civilization franchise, has confirmed that it is working on a new entry in the series. The company has not yet shared many details about the game, but it did reveal that Ed Beach, who has over 15 years of experience working on Civilization games, will serve as the creative director for the project. Beach was the lead designer for the most recent game in the series, Civilization VI.
The announcement was made by Firaxis’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, in a press release this week. The release also announced a number of staffing changes at Firaxis, including the departure of longtime studio head Steve Martin and the promotion of Heather Hazen to the role of Chief Operating Officer.
