Civilization VI was among the many games that we managed to check out during Gamescom 2016 last month. We also had the chance to speak with Firaxis Games’ Associate Producer Sarah Darney and Project Art Director Brian Busatti about some of the new features coming with the game.
Civilization VI launches on PC on October 21st. The game should have DirectX 12 & Asynchronous Compute Support as well as Explicit MultiAdapter, but seeing as there's no info about this it might be only coming after launch.
