Civilization To Find A New Home

Firaxis… or more specially the front-man himself Sid Meier has strongly hinted at the possibility of the famous Civilization series getting released on platforms other than PC as he talked about the possibility of console and handheld based versions of the game

“I think the latest consoles have the processing power to deliver fun experiences with the bigger strategy games. It’s definitely something we’ve been keeping our eyes on and we’ll let you know where we’ll go from here,” Meier said. His wording with the phrase “processing power” seems to hint that PS3 and 360 version would be more likely than a Wii version of the game.

He then went on to talk about handheld Civ by saying the company’s goal “is to deliver Civilization on any game platform that makes sense. If we can deliver a fun experience to the players on the DS, then we’ll do it. We’re still in the exploratory mode on all of this, but will definitely let you know our plans as soon as they’re set.“
