Civilization 7's game changing update was 'personally challenging' for its creative director, as being able to play as a single faction 'wasn't part of the original vision'
Firaxis Games has reintroduced an optional single-faction mode to Civilization 7 via the 'Test of Time' update, a decision that was personally challenging for creative director Ed Beach as it deviated from the game's original vision. This change addresses player feedback, particularly from veteran fans, who were divided by the initial age-transition mechanic. The studio is also preparing for the launch of the game's first DLC, Earthrise.
