From Maya to Rome, Firaxis reveals Civilization 7's first six civs and there are "many more still to come"

There's not much longer left before Firaxis Games' highly anticipated Civilization 7 releases now, so it's not surprising that the developers are teasing upcoming content - including the first six available in-game civilizations, from the Antiquity Age to the Exploration Age.

In a recent post, Firaxis reveals the first few civs of Civilization 7. These include five from the Antiquity Age - Aksum, Egypt, Maya, Maurya, and Rome. The final civ, the Shawnee, falls within the Exploration Age - although, unlike the others, it won't be available outside of paid DLC. The studio didn't announce any civs from the Modern Age, but devs did write that there are "many more still to come!"

Fans are already speculating about what future civs could be. A new Reddit thread discussing Firaxis' reveal post shows as much, with excited commenters suggesting everything from Greece to the Inca Empire. "Greece is very likely given we have several Wonders made by them," reads one fan's response. "Really praying for base game Incas," writes another. Further replies include suggestions of China, Japan, and more.
