translated from Spanish: Civilization VI is the new free game from Epic Games

A few days ago we told you that the possible upcoming games of the Epic Games store had been leaked through the photo of an internal presentation. In that same note we emphasized that we had to wait for today to see if the information was confirmed, and with great pleasure we can say yes: Civilization VI is now available for free download. The latest installment of the classic Firaxis Games series will be available until the next game and, as always, an Epic Games store account is required to take advantage of the promotion. Fortunately it is not necessary to download it, but by simply adding it to your library you will have it forever.

Civilization VI, like the rest of the franchise, is a turn-based strategy game that puts players in control of the leader of one of the many most famous civilizations in history, each of which has its own strengths and weaknesses. From Caesar to Gandhi, it will be up to the user to decide what kind of strategy to use to dominate the rest of the world: some will decide the military path, while the more idealistic will be inclined to prioritize culture or science and technology. Civilization is one of those games that invites you to complete “one more turn” and when you realized the sun is coming up again on the horizon and in two hours you have to prepare for the job. I mean, it’s an ideal quarantine game. It’s worth clarifying that the version that’s free is the base, which offers hundreds of hours of content, but if it’s still short, Civilization VI has three expansions: Rise and Fall, which puts players face the challenge of surviving the factors that led to the fall of different civilizations. Gathering Storm, which simulates the impact of technology and evolution on global warming and forces players to deal with the consequences of their decisions.
