2K and Firaxis Games have debuted the Civilization VII opening cinematic at The Game Awards 2024. The video is voiced-over by narrator Gwendoline Christie.
Additionally, the main theme for Civilization VII, “Live Gloriously,” was revealed today. Composer Christopher Tin said: “With ‘Live Gloriously,’ I wanted to capture universal themes of hope, heroism and mortality that have resonated across history. You’ll hear words from The Iliad, Beowulf, Popol Vuh and Ramayana, delivering a beautiful sense of gravity and emotion that embodies the story of humanity.”
As for the Civilization VII opening cinematic, here’s what to expect:
As a lone farmer uncovers a buried and rusted saber, we see its history unfold. The saber passes from one generation to the next, across different cultures and regions of the world, illuminating a central theme of the game – that history is built in layers. The full uncut version of the opening cinematic is available to watch here.
