More "Ask Sid" Q&A

For the second straight month, Firaxis has published another question-and-answer session with Sid Meier. This month's questions are a bit more focused and serious, and many center around the platform possibilities for future Firaxis games (PC, iPhone, etc.).

After a two year hiatus, it seems that Firaxis’ revival of the Ask Sid series is indicative of an announcement to come. Here is a sample of what Sid had to say:

Quote:

Question: I've been a huge fan of the Civilization series since a very young age and I've also always been a computer gamer at heart. The recent addition to the Civ series on the Xbox 360 and PS3 is a nice thing to see, but will the PC line of civ be continuing?

Sid: We have a very large and loyal Civ PC community and have always said that we’ll keep delivering new Civ games to the community if they keep asking for them. So all you Civ PC fans out there need to make some noise!

Q: I am a huge fan of Civ 4. When can we expect the release of Civ 5?

S: Well, we’ve just wrapped up the Civ IV series with the release of Civ IV: Colonization, which seems to be a hit. And we recently released Civ IV: Complete for anyone who is interested in getting Civ IV, the two expansions and Colonization all on one disc (and DRM free). We have always said that if the fans want more Civ we’ll keep making more. We’ll take your email as another vote for more Civ and let you know if there is any news to report.


Note: The E3 gaming convention officially begins today and runs through June 4th. We will be keeping an eye on any information released by 2K Games or Firaxis.
