Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie is the narrator of Civilization VII

2K and Firaxis have announced that Game of Thrones and Star Wars star Gwendoline Christie will be the in-game narrator for Civilization VII.

As the official narrator for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, players will hear Christie’s voice as she comments and remarks on their choices in-game.

Christie is known for her role as Captain Phasma in Star Wars and Ser Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones.

Previous narrators for the Civilization franchise include Sean Bean (Sid Meier’s Civilization VI), William Morgan Sheppard (Sid Meier‘s Civilization V) and Leonard Nimoy (Sid Meier’s Civilization IV).

2K and Firaxis debuted the first look at Civilization VII at Gamescom.

“With more than 30 years of franchise legacy to draw from, Civilization VII features a vast wealth of gameplay improvements that will thrill series veterans and newcomers alike,” reads a press release for the game.

The game will be available in Standard and Deluxe editions. The Deluxe Edition will include five days of early access, enabling buyers to start playing from February 6.

The Standard Edition will cost $69.99 on PS5 and Xbox, and $59.99 on Switch, with the Deluxe Edition priced at $99.99 on PS5 and Xbox, and $89.99 on Switch.

Shortly after Opening Night Live finished, 2K and developer Firaxis hosted their own Gameplay Showcase video on the Firaxis Twitch channel and the official Civilization YouTube channel.

Players attending Gamescom on August 21-25 will then be able to see the game in action at the official Civilization VII booth in Hall 6.
