Well, here’s a nice surprise. Here I was thinking I’d have to wait until Civilization 7 to get another edition of the defining Sid Meier strategy sim, and all of a sudden, 2K has launched a new Civ game right out of nowhere. If you’ve aced Age of Empires, crushed Crusader Kings, and want a slightly speedier substitute to Civilization 6, the new 4X builder, subtitled Eras and Allies, is available, well, now.
