The open beta for Civilization Online is starting on December 2nd in South Korea. Is it ever starting in the US? We still don’t know, although current plans do not seem to indicate that it will be. Would you like to watch a couple of trailers for the game regardless? Because we’ve got them down below.
The first trailer is very much just a straightforward trailer of the “dramatic music plays while vaguely game-related stuff happens” variety, while the second is more of a conceptual introduction featuring Jake Song and Sid Meier. It is also largely in Korean, so keep that in mind if you’re wondering why you can’t understand what’s being spoken.

Loopstah Damonvile Oh, somebody just went in defensive mode!
Dude, just admit you didn’t think very open mindedly and move on :P
Cambruin because it is an anger lightning rod and we click the bait.
I think it’s good to report on games not getting US/EU releases, because it saves everyone a lot of time and head-scratching later when someone mentions them in some other context. Keep up the good work, MOP!
If it’s not coming to the West, why bother reporting on it?
Damonvile Loopstah Yes but a trend thus far has been to report on games that are either pending release in the west, or have been available in the west from the get-go. You come to expect that you’ll be learning about games that are/will be available to you – thus informing yourself before a new purchase. You can’t “avoid clicking on posts about Korean only games” without knowing that they are truly only available in Korea. And you learn that by clicking on the post (and subsequently getting disappointed).
It’s like going to a site that talks about upcoming movies. You get excited with each new post – learning about new movies that you’ll be able to see. And then the site starts posting about movies that will never come to western cinemas, so all the excitement is in vain knowing that you’ll never be able to see it. So what’s the point? So that a random visitor from Korea can learn about it? There are Korean sites for those things.
To put it all in one word: meh.
altough its an abomination of civ – it sure does look like tons of fun on youtube …
Blackomen Damonvile Oyjord so you think you were snarky there, hum? :P
