WHY CHRONICLE VII
A revolutionary new chapter, built to be replayed forever
Six pillars define the deepest entry in the franchise yet — each one engineered so no two empires ever rise the same way.
The Ages System
Carry your empire through three distinct Ages. Every transition is a chance to evolve, adapt and reinvent who you are.
Illustrious Leaders
Embody history's boldest minds — strategists, scientists and statesmen — each with a defining Unique Ability.
World Wonders
Raise monuments that bend the rules of the game and stand as testaments to your reign for the rest of the match.
Online Multiplayer
Compete in ranked ladders or co-op campaigns for up to 8 players, with cross-platform play across every device.
Procedural Worlds
No two empires rise on the same earth. Generate fresh continents, climates and resources every single game.
Tactical Combat
Command stackable formations, leverage terrain, and outmaneuver rivals on a hex battlefield built for depth.
