Developed by Firaxis Games, Civilization Revolution will supply PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS owners with Sid Meier's turn-based strategic goodness on July 8.
Weighing in around 1.08 GB, the demo is said to feature turn-based strategic single and multiplayer gameplay from the perspectives of Egypt and Rome along with a tutorial.
Originally slotted to arrive on June 3, Civilization Revolution is now expected to hit PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS on July 8. A Wii version was once announced, but has since been placed on hold.
Built from the ground up to offer a satisfying strategy solution for console gamers, the game will be available on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with a separate Nintendo DS version to be released simultaneously.
A few new screenshots from the Xbox 360 edition were released to celebrate the date, which you can check out below.
Developed by Firaxis Games, the Civilization Revolution will be televised on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS this spring. Though previously announced, the Wii version has been placed on indefinite hold.
"Development for the Wii version of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is currently on hold," 2K Games told IGN. "We are focusing our attention on creating the best possible Civilization experience for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS platforms."
The first Civilization game built exclusively for consoles, Revolution is said to be the first Sid Meier-designed Civilization title since the original Sid Meier's Civilization (PC).
The hold up comes as little surprise, given that the Wii version was already slated to hit much later than the other versions. At the time of our E3 preview, the turn-based strategy game was expected to arrive on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS in the spring, with the now-uncertain Wii release trailing in the fall.
With Wii and DS versions also underway, the representative assured me that gameplay will be basically the same across the various platforms. "The way [Sid Meier] wrote the code, the game core actually doesn't know what system it's on," he noted. "It's the presentation layer that gets wrapped around the core that knows, so they will be able to play very similar."
Announced in late June, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is the first entry in the classic turn-based strategy series developed exclusively for consoles. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions will arrive in spring 2008, while the Wii and DS versions are scheduled to hit in fall 2008. 2K Games released some pieces of artwork and an announcement trailer at the time.
