Meet the Civilization VI Developers

2K’s Civilization VI development team isn’t exactly an indie one, so it should be expected that they have quite a few big-wigs. Development team leaders Ed Beach, Denoton Shirk, Anton Strenger, and Brian Busatti took the time to discuss their goals for Civilization VI’s visual design, gameplay, and innovations on video.

In addition to them, Christopher Tin, composer of Civilization IV and Baba Yetu, is returning as Civ VI’s head composer to make songs like “Sogno di Volare” or The Dream of Flight.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is launching on Oct 21st for Windows PC, and for a sneak peek of the soundtrack, Sogno di Volare will be performed by Britain’s National Orchestra at Cadogan Hall on July 19th.
