Hot off the presses, 2K Games and Firaxis Games have announced that their highly anticipated turn-based strategy title, Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization, has begun shipping to stores across North America today. A "reimagining" of the 1994 classic, the game offers all-new graphics, improved diplomacy options, a revamped UI, mod tools and much, much more! Here's a little snippet from the press release:
"The decade-long groundswell of fan enthusiasm around Colonization was the driving force behind our decision to make a new version for today's gamers," said Sid Meier, direct 2033 or of creative development at Firaxis Games. "The terrific community support for the game, coupled with the opportunity to design a new edition using our Civilization IV engine, made it the right time to create this title for loyal fans and everyone else who loves great strategy games."
For those of you living outside North America, the game is expected to ship internationally on September 26th. So keep an eye out for it! :D
