Inspired by the recent success story of Manor Lords (after the trials and tribulations of it’s sole developer) the developer behind the abandoned Civ and Ara like 4X game called BOC: Birth of Cultures (formerly Birth of Civilizations) has decided to return to the project and is working with an interested publisher on finishing the game. The game is broadly a 4X game, with a bit longer time range than the Civ games, starting after the ice age already. Your civs will also be evolving, but it is not mentioned if it is similar to Civ7 or Humankind. BOC has currently an early access version available, in case you need another 4X fix until Civ7.
