Microsoft's answer to Civilization looks, well, a lot like Civilization.

Ara: History Untold, developed by Oxide Games and published by Microsoft, is a historical grand strategy game aiming to evolve the genre.

Presented in Xbox Developer Direct, Ara mirrors aspects of Civilization.

However, Ara isn’t just a rehash of Civ 5, standing out with its simultaneous turn resolution in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

Diving deeper into production, Ara introduces a crafting system that requires players to transform natural resources into goods.

The game also experiments with ecological elements, including a humorous tweak to overly aggressive mountain lions during testing.

Set for a fall release on PC, including PC Game Pass, Ara: History Untold could be an intriguing take on grand strategy.
