Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization

2K games announces the upcoming Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization

Here is another game to add to your “buy” list. Sid Meier’s Classic Colonization is recreated as a new stand-alone game using the Civilization IV universe game engine, meaning it does not require the original Civ IV game to be played. Available in the fall of 2008.

In Colonization, players lead one of four European nations on a quest to conquer and rule the New World. Players will be challenged to guide their people from the oppressive motherland, discover the New World, and negotiate, trade and fight with both the natives and other nations as they acquire power and fight for freedom and independence.

As a complete reimagining of the 1994 classic, Colonization is a total conversion of Civilization IV that combines Civilization’s addictive “just one more turn” gameplay with all-new graphics and features that add more depth to the franchise. New features, such as a brand-new interface, improved diplomacy options and the included modding tools ensure that Colonization will be the next great title from gaming’s premier strategy game developer.

Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Colonization for Games for Windows will be available fall 2008 and has not yet been rated by the ESRB. For more information, please visit www.civilization.com.
