Civilization: Network - Out in 2011

[Robert Plomp]

For a long time we didn't hear anything about Civilization: Network, but now joystiq.com reveals that the game will arrive in 2011 on facebook!
Strauss Zelnick, Executive Chairman of 2K, even says: "relatively soon."

Civilization: Network is a social network game that will be released on facebook. It was first announced more then one year ago and promised a closed beta to start 'very soon'. Apparently the focus then moved to Civilization V.

Apparently they have started closed testing with the alpha version of the game beginning today or tomorrow

"Civilization World Thanks for the great response to the Alpha test registration. We’ve selected the first round of testers who have been notified by email. We’ll begin playing the Alpha version of the game with this group tomorrow. Don’t be discouraged if you were not part of this first round selection; we’ll be inviting more teams in so...on, so stay on the lookout for an email invitation from us!

They've also changed the name to "Civilization World" instead of "Civilization Network"

unfortunately, it seems like apolyton doesn't care.

The 5-months-with-no-updates thing killed it for me.
