While nominally a long-running, legendary strategy series, Civilization is also immensely quotable, which you can't say about many other 4X games. Getting lost in the minutiae of empire-building while Sean Bean drops some of the hardest, most hilarious lines from history was a highlight of Civ VI, and the Game of Thrones fun continues in Civilization VII, with Brienne of Tarth herself, Gwendoline Christe announced as narrator.

We get a brief teaser in the trailer above, and there's little doubt Christie has the range to assume the oddly prestigious role. Voice acting was introduced with Civilization IV, and legendary Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy set a high bar. Stage actor and fellow Star Trek alum William Morgan Shepard was cast for Civ V, and Bean, as mentioned, for Civ VI.

Civilization VII will rewrite history on 11th February 2025 for PS5 and PS4. Will you be diving in? Let us know in the comments section below.
