The next Civilization 7 update has been confirmed to arrive on March 4, 2025. It will include several changes based on community suggestions and feedback. Here is what you can expect:

• New Natural Wonder to discover: Bermuda Triangle (free to all players)
• Additional UI adjustments, polish, and addressing of reported issues
• Significant changes to the Modern Age's Cultural Legacy Path and Victory; AI leaders will also be better at completing a Cultural Victory (so expect fewer Explorer Unit stacks!)
• Now able to convert Holy Cities in the Exploration Age. Note that when players create their own Missionary Units, they will always follow the player’s chosen Religion
• Naval Units will be able to disperse Coastal Independent Powers
• Balance pass on several Mementos
• Refinements to the Army Unpacking action
• Addressing reported issues with multiplayer and adding friends with a 2K Account
• For console players: All prior updates from Update 1.0.1 Patches 1, 2, and 3 will be implemented, in addition to the items noted above
• Crossroads of the World Collection - Part 1: The first half of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection includes the new leader Ada Lovelace, the new civs Great Britain (Modern Age) and Carthage (Antiquity Age), and the Natural Wonder Pack including four new Natural Wonders: Machapuchare, Mount Fuji, Vihren, and Vinicunca.

As per the Civilization 7 roadmap for 2025 that said the first in-game event — Natural Wonder Battle — would occur after the first update, well, it has been postponed. QoL improvements are being prioritized at the moment.

Civilization 7 update v1.1.1 - March 25, 2025

While Civilization 7 update v1.1.0 and v1.1.1 will be in the same month, the latter, which is slated for March 25, 2025, is subject to change. Nevertheless, here is a list of changes that are planned:

• Additional UI improvements and refinements; specifics will be shared later with the Update 1.1.1 Notes
• Note: Ongoing improvements to the User Interface continues to be a top priority for the development team. The updates being introduced on March 25 are just one part of a much larger plan that aims to improve the UI over the next several months.
• Scouting and Settling improvements for AI, including less aggressive “forward” settling by AI
• Adding Quick Move functionality
• Adding the ability to customize the names of Commanders and Cities
• Renaming the existing maps to be "Start Position: Balanced," which will be the default Start Position setting for multiplayer games
• Adding a new Start Position of "Standard," where the landforms on maps are less predictable, closer to how map generation works in Civ VI
• Adding an optional Restart button that rerolls the player’s map generation now that these less predictable start positions are possible
• New Natural Wonder: Mount Everest (free to all players)
• Update 1.1.1 will also include the second half of the paid Crossroads of the World Collection**, which is included in both the Deluxe Edition and Founders Edition of Civilization VII. This includes a new leader, Simón Bolívar, and two new Civilizations with Bulgaria (Exploration Age) and Nepal (Modern Age).
