This Thursday Firaxis will be hosting a “feedback event”: During this day, the official discord will all be about a specific question, which beforehand will be announced. The devs will be looking for specific feedback, which should be taken into account for the future development of Civ7. For this Thursday, they would like to know how the scout on autoexplore should behave. You want to discuss? Join us in this thread here, and join on Thursday the official discord here.
Our user evonannoredars has been playing around with the ingame console and a mod, and has produced some very interesting (but not pretty), but also some really pretty screenshots. Take a look here, and see if you can try it yourself!

Today the VR version for Civ7 has been released. From the description it seems that the VR version is content-wise identical, besides the interface adjustments for VR.
The VR version is availabe for the Meta Quest for 59.99 and can be bought here. There is a press release available here, and surely you can discuss the VR version in this thread with us.
It seems PotatoMcWhiskey found (somewhere?) 2 screenshots which hint that there was maybe a LEGO Civ6 in the making… and was it cancelled… or not? We don’t know. You want to speculate? Join us here.
