Civilization coming to Wii in ’08…we hope

Next-generation consoles and handhelds will receive a dose of Sid Meier empire-building joy next spring.

2K and Firaxis haven’t named names yet for destination consoles, which means we have to hope Civilization Revolution makes its way to the Wii:

Driven by sheer passion for the game concept, Meier is now handcrafting a brand-new Civilization experience designed and built from scratch for next gen consoles and handhelds.

“Civilization Revolution is the game I’ve always wanted to make!” said Sid Meier, Director of Creative Development at Firaxis Games. “We are excited to take advantage of the power of next generation consoles and the ingenuity of handhelds, to create a great and unique strategy game for newcomers to the series, as well as the millions of fans around the world who enjoy Civilization on the PC.”
