New York, NY – August 10, 2009 – 2K Games announced today that Sid Meier's Civilization® Revolution™ is now available for the iPhone™ and iPod® touch. Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution for iPhone and iPod touch contains hundreds of hours of gameplay from veteran game developer Firaxis Games. As a special offer for fans, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is available for the introductory price of $4.99 for the first 48 hours before it moves to its standard price of $9.99.

"Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution was a big success for us last year on the consoles and handheld systems," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Now, the iPhone platform gives us the opportunity to introduce an entirely new audience to the addictive gameplay of the Civilization® franchise."

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution for iPhone and iPod touch brings Civilization Revolution's renowned gameplay, including 16 playable civilizations, multiple difficulty levels, an integrated tutorial and more to mobile users. The iPhone version features new graphics and an entirely new gesture-based interface that takes advantage of the power of the platform.

"We're thrilled to deliver our signature strategy game on such an exciting and dynamic platform," said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games, and lead designer on Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution.

As one of the most respected franchises in the gaming industry, the Civilization series has sold more than 9 million units worldwide. In 1991, Sid Meier put computer gaming on the map when he first delivered Civilization to the PC gaming world, launching the "God Game" genre and creating one of the most award-winning and addictive strategy series of all time. Built specifically for console and handheld systems, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution features the franchise's fastest pick-up-and-play action to date and still honors the most beloved elements from the core series: strategic global reign and encounters with history's most intrepid leaders.
