How to Unlock All civilizations in Civilization 7

Unlock all civilizations in Civilization 7 and explore diverse cultures and strategies

Civilization 7 features a unique civilization progression system across its three Ages: Antiquity, Exploration, and Modern. Your initial Antiquity Age choice influences which civilizations are automatically available in later Ages, but you can unlock any civilization by completing specific objectives. This guide explains the unlock system and lists all civilizations and their unlock requirements.

How Unlocks Work:

Your starting Antiquity Age civilization provides a natural progression path, unlocking related civilizations in the Exploration and Modern Ages. These connections are based on historical and geographical relationships. However, you are not limited to this path. The "Player Unlocks" screen tracks objectives you can complete to unlock any civilization, offering strategic flexibility.
