Teaser trailer:

Gameplay changes are ...

... going to be showcased in August.

Release: 2025.

It seems every subsequent civ game has a shorter and shorter time span before it gets a sequel.
Probably just me getting old and feels rather than facts. But still.
Don't think I ever did finish a game of 6 so I'm pretty Meh on this.

Dude.

Civ 6 is quite old though.
And while it looks nice... "booh" at teaser trailers. They say nothing

Indeed
Civ6 was 25th jubilee for civ

Weird. So it's the biggest gap between 7 and 6.
2 seemed to be THE game forever.

Continuing the "vibes" theme - III was for sure the least memorable to me. I had it, I recall I didn't really enjoy it, and it didn't seem to leave the big imprint that Civ2 and Civ 4 had, respectively.

Civ 6 may feel "newer" because the stylized gfx haven't aged that terribly (and maybe the more colorful designs of VI feel more contemporary now?), and it has kept pushing out civs and leaders DLCs till 2022.

I do remember 3s pop culture thing and culture flipping was cool, though too rare to actually happen.

Also with age... I do think games in general have sort of Plateaued as compared to the generational leap every 5 years we used to get. 
A game from 2010 isn't tooooo different to a game of today, 2016 is basically yesterday.
PS 3 to 4 to 5 is nothing compared to MD to PS1 to PS2.

[Syt]

That's definitely true. The big graphical leaps don't really happen any more at the moment.

Probably because we were young, and time flowed differently then

The lack of an Elvis impersonator has ruined every Civ since Civ 2.

BUILD CITY WALLS!!!

The lack of Civ 2 has ruined every Civ since Civ 2.

Fixed

[Zanza]

I'll buy it.

[Syt]

Well, yeah.
