For the uninitiated, Civilization: Eras & Allies is actually a rebrand of Civilization: Conquests and Alliances, an empire-builders strategy game that had already been soft-launched in several countries around the world for the past few months.
As part of the announcement, 2K Games released an official statement on the game that reads:
As part of our continued efforts to explore and expand into new audiences, Civilization: Eras & Allies is starting its soft launch today in limited territories within Southeast Asia, starting with Indonesia and The Philippines. Civilization: Eras & Allies is a new standalone free-to-play mobile 4X social strategy game, featuring exciting and unique cross-era gameplay mechanics designed with the mobile social strategy gamer in mind.
In addition to the soft launch of Civilization: Eras & Allies in Southeast Asia, 2K Games also shed some light concerning the next mainline Civilization game by Firaxis Games. the official statement reads:
