Civilization V Gets Release Date

When that urge to take over the world gets too much, there is always Civilization to fall back on.  2K have announced that Sid Meier’s Civilization V will be available in North America on September 21, 2010 and internationally on September 24, 2010 for Windows PC.

For those who have played the legendary series until their eyes bled, the game needs no introduction, however, according to 2K:

“Sid Meier’s Civilization V reinvigorates the classic turn-based strategy genre with an astonishing new engine built from the ground-up for this flagship edition of the Civilization franchise. Players are introduced to a heightened tactical combat system; vast, realistic landscapes to explore; deeper diplomatic interactions; and an array of expanded features that deliver a fully immersive experience providing hours of entertainment as players build and defend their empire on their quest to become the greatest ruler the world has ever known. Additionally, the new in-game community hub allows Civ fans to share content and compete against each other without leaving the game, marking a new era that will forever change the “one more turn” addiction of the franchise.”

The game will be shown off at this year’s E3 conference.
