2K has announced plans to bring a brand new Civilization title to new-gen consoles, including our beloved Xbox 360. Title Civilization Revolution, the game is reportedly the game that Sid Meier has always wanted to make. We're inclined to agree with him, since he's already made it four times. Joking aside, Civilization Revolution looks to bring a console level of "action-packed" goodness to the series, which has traditionally been a relatively slow affair on PCs. The new console iteration promises to streamline the experience, giving console gamers the instant gratification to which they've become accustomed. Civilization Revolution will also include multiplayer with integrated video and voice chat. Of course, the big question on everyone's mind is whether or not the game can appeal to both console gamers and a loyal PC following.
We'll find out when the game releases in Spring 2008.

I remember when Civ IV came out having a discussion in the office about how awesome it would be on the 360 over live. Thanks for hearing us Sid.

Excellent news. My 360 should be back from the repair center by 2008. Let's hope the game really takes advantage of the superb xbox live features!

ha, i remember reading on ps3fanboy.com that Sid liked working with the PS3 and all the fanboys creamed there pants at his "allegiance". he's just a normal guy that wants his game to do well, so he's taking advantage of all the systems.
@santus17: the 360 should be getting a cooler .65 nm chip this fall. pray your 360 arrives with it.
