If you have a craving for strategy on the go, Nintendo, 2K, and Firaxis are about to give you everything you need. Civilization VI is coming to Nintendo Switch in November 2018.

Civilization VI Gives Players One More Turn On Nintendo Switch In November

Civilization may be the single most important 4X (Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate) strategy game out there, with users having put in one more turn across the world in vies for world dominance, peace, or scientific utopia in the game and modders having built millions of hours worth of add-on content of their own for the game. Now we’ll be able to take that on the go in the best of ways. Civilization VI is coming to the Nintendo Switch and it won’t be long. The game drops in November 2018.

The news was let loose (albeit perhaps a little early) in a now-deleted article on the Civilization website, and confirmed by outlets such as GameInformer. There was also a trailer for Civilization VI on Switch, but this has since been removed for the time being. That said, we were able to view the trailer while it was up, which offered November 16, 2018 as a release date for the game.

Civilization VI is considered by many to be the strongest title of the series. It will be interesting to see how well it ports to the mobile trappings of the Switch.

According to the article, Civilization VI will be coming to Switch with most of its official expansions intact, but not Rise & Fall which was most recently released. That means nations like the Mayans, Poland, Macedonia, the Vikings, Persia, and Australia will join in the action from the various content packs that have been released for Civilization VI since its launch. This comes alongside the full original game which was already hailed by many as one of the best of the entire series.

It is unclear why much of the content that was up for the Civilization VI Nintendo Switch announcement has now been taken down from official outlets, but we will update with information as it becomes available. It may very well have been expected to be part of the September Nintendo Direct, which was recently delayed due to an earthquake in Japan. That said, if recent rumors are true, we can expect the new date for the Nintendo Direct to be September 13.

For the time being, it looks like we can look forward to one more turn wherever we go when Civilization VI comes to the Nintendo Switch on November 16, 2018.
