Firaxis Games -- they make Civilization games. That's just what they do. So it's no surprise that today, 2K Games and the developer have announced that Civilization V is in development for the PC.
Built from the ground-up, the latest entry in the turn-based strategy franchise will introduce a new combat system, "deeper diplomatic interactions," and other expanded features. World leaders will not be fully animated, and will speak in their native language for the first time in the series, so brush up on your world languages.
New multiplayer features will also be making their debut in the title, along with an "extensive suite" of community and modding tools.
Civilization V is set to ship this fall, and it's not the only Civ game Firaxis is working on -- a Facebook title, Civilization Network, is also in the works.

"World leaders will not be fully animated"
Might want to proofread that piece again.
civ series is my second most played game after WoW.. lol
Will this take up my entire life, my children, and my children's children just to finish one game?
If so, AWESOME.
You can always tell when Nick Chester has to pee really bad but needs to finish this article first.
lol. I think we all can relate.
But still beyond excited.
Only thing that can top this for me would be sim city 5!
Thank you, Sid Meier. Thank you.
lol u are not the only one that is going to lose it :D, i must be dreaming seriusly this is so fucking amazing, i can barely wait to play it !!!!!!
I doubt they will be moving towards civ rev, they purposefully stripped that down for more speedy console play and multiplayer.
For the pc, its all micromanagement.
NEWS.
EVER.
not that i dont love me sum fps...
