Civilization IV is about to get another addition to the series, as 2K Games announced Civilization IV: Colonization this afternoon. A re-imagining of the 1994 game of the same name, Colonization is being made from the ground up with the Civ IV engine and will be a Games For Windows exclusive.
“We’ve received many requests from fans over the years to bring back Colonization and now seemed to be the perfect time to do that,” said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games. “The Civilization IV engine provided a fantastic foundation for a new Colonization experience and allowed us to create something great for both new players and long time fans of the game.”
Civ IV: Colonization will arrive at retail this fall, and will not require Civilization IV to be played.
