Civilization 7 In-Game Narrator Revealed — and the Game of Thrones Line of Succession Continues – IGN

Civilization fans will know the in-game narrator plays a huge part in the strategy series. For a start, you hear their voice a lot as they impart wisdom about humanity itself throughout the course of the game. And the Civilization games have had some high-profile actors play the role over the years. The late and great Star Trek legend Leonard Nimoy voiced Civilization 4, William Morgan Sheppard voiced Civilization 5, and Ned Stark himself, Sean Bean, voiced Civilization 6.

Now, Civilization developer Firaxis has maintained the Game of Thrones line of succession by drafting Gwendoline Christie to play the in-game narrator in Civilization 7. Fresh from a gameplay reveal at Opening Night Live, Firaxis announced Christie’s role in the game with a new trailer, below, that offers a glimpse at what to expect when Civilization 7 releases early next year.

Christie, like Sean Bean, is a Game of Thrones alum, having exploded into the mainstream by playing Brienne of Tarth in the HBO fantasy-drama series. Here, Christie seems a little more relaxed than the overcharged Brienne, setting the scene for perfectly for Civilization 7.
