The world may have gotten excited about the announcement of Civilization 7 recently, and we know there is a lot more to come on that soon, but meanwhile there is a closed beta test going on for a new mobile Civ game, but it is one that seems to have been made specifically for the Chinese market.<\/p>\n
Mobile site GamingOnIphone<\/a> discovered Civilization Mobile: World Origin (or with its Chinese name of World Qiyuan) and will be published there by 2K.<\/p>\n While obviously heavily Civilization-based with its legendary turn-based gameplay, the game seems to be more multi-player focused than normal and has a system called Four Emperors.<\/p>\n It is possible that if the game is successful it may eventually make a cross-over to the Western markets \u2013 there is, after all, nothing like a good bit of Civilization on the go but at this stage, the beta, which started on 16th June is only available in China and fully in Chinese.<\/p>\n At the recent Tencent Spark 2024 showcase, showing the Chinese giant\u2019s upcoming games which was held at the end of May, the game was showcased as Civilization: World Source so it is unclear as to whether there has been a last-minute name change or something has just got lost in translation somewhere along the way.<\/p>\n This is the third closed beta and will not include a server wipe at the end of it, so it seems as though it may be due for a release, or at the very least an open beta shortly. Good news if you are in China.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the world waits for information on what the main game in the franchise, Civ 7 will include, with Firaxis promising more news as soon as August. At the moment we know it is slated for a 2025 release<\/a> and not much else at this stage.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
