2K Games Announces Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution App for iPad Available Now
April, 2 2010
"Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution is already a huge success for 2K Games," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Now, the iPad’s large Multi-Touch screen and impressive capabilities allow for high resolution graphics; a larger viewing and playing area; and expanded gameplay functionality that extend the addictive ‘just one more turn’ gameplay that has been synonymous with the Civilization series for decades.”
"We’re excited to deliver our signature strategy game at the launch of the revolutionary iPad," said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games. “The popularity of Civilization Revolution on the iPhone and the Nintendo DS™ is a clear indicator that people want to play Civ wherever and whenever they want. We’re happy to be able to give them that opportunity with iPad.”
The Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution App for iPad is available for $12.99 from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution for iPad was originally developed by Firaxis Games and adapted for the iPad by 2K China. As one of the most respected franchises in the gaming industry, the Civilization series has sold more than nine million units worldwide. In 1991, Sid Meier put computer gaming on the map when he first delivered Civilization to the PC gaming world, launching the "God Game" genre and creating one of the most award-winning and addictive strategy series of all time. Built specifically for console and handheld systems, Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution features the franchise's fastest pick-up-and-play action to date and still honors the most beloved elements from the core series: strategic global reign and encounters with history's most intrepid leaders.
