Prepare your empire for launch with Civilization VII: Earthrise, arriving in 2027 and available to wishlist now.
As we officially unveiled at PAX West 2026, this first paid expansion for Civilization VII will see your civ reach for the stars as it adapts to a changing world.
Look to the Heavens
How will your civilization draw inspiration from the night sky? Guide your people from humble stargazers to pioneers of spaceflight. In the Antiquity and Exploration Ages, chart celestial bodies and turn cosmic insight into strategic advantage. As the Modern and Atomic Ages dawn, take humanity's first steps beyond the atmosphere: found a space agency, launch missions into the solar system, and survey nearby moons and planets. Each successful mission uncovers planetary features and untapped resources, fueling your civ’s growth back on Earth.
Adapt to Your Environment
Decide how your people will be shaped by the land, and how they'll shape it in return. New units and technologies let you alter the terrain and bonuses of tiles of your empire, opening fresh ways to manage your settlements. When natural disasters intensify with rising global temperatures, you'll have the tools to withstand them—or reverse the warming itself. And as your people master the tundra, desert, or tropics, your civilization will earn new gameplay advantages that enhance your abilities in these biomes.
