GOG is having a sale for the Chinese new year, and obviously some of our most beloved titles are on sale!
The most important are:
The new years sale is very big, and many more titles are on sale. You might want to shop around, and have a look at other interesting titles like Galactic Civilizations, Dorfromantik, or Fallen Enchantress.
CivFanatics is in the meantime a very old website, with an age of over 20 years. In all this time we have gone through many changes, including style. If you want to see how we looked once upon a time, in our different eras, have a look at the thread which our user blake00 put together, showing how we looked in the old times. You can find the eras of CivFantatics here.
We are currently in the middle of restoring and updating our download database, and we need your help!
Do you have lots of old mods, scenarios and other pieces from CivFanatics and other sources on the web on your hard drive? Then help us!
We are currently restoring Civ2 and Civ4: Col items, and will soon get to lost Civ3, Civ4 and Civ5 downloads.

The Expedition series is probably of interest for some of our players, therefore this news item: Expeditions: Rome is a turn-based roleplaying game, set in Roman times, and was just released. It features turn-based tactical combats, as well as larger-scale strategic battles.
If you are interested, there is a free demo available on Steam too. Download the demo here.
Okay, okay, this is obviously silly.
There is no indication right now that it could be a Civ movie, but who knows?
What would that anyways look like? Discuss the possibility of a Civ movie with “The Rock” in our forum here.

GameRant has published an article about the art director of Civ and XCOM forming a new gaming studio, Bit Reactor, with other veterans from Firaxis. The focus of the studio will go more in the direction of XCOM than of Civ, meaning more tactical turn-based games.
We are obviously curious about this development and will follow it closely.
