#Jose Rizal in Civilization

Filipino national hero and revolutionary thinker Jose Rizal is set to make history once again—this time as a playable leader in Sid Meier's Civilization 7. The upcoming installment of the iconic 4X strategy game will feature Rizal as a selectable character, allowing players to guide a civilization under his leadership. Previously, players could only experience Rizal’s influence in Civilization through community-made mods. However, with his official inclusion in Civilization 7, Rizal’s leadership style will now be fully integrated into the game’s mechanics. The addition of Rizal highlights Civilization 7’s commitment to celebrating diverse historical figures from around the world. Fans of history and strategy gaming will soon have the chance to lead a civilization through Rizal’s visionary approach to governance. José Rizal, famed for his courageous stand against Spanish colonial rule and his advocacy for reform, now joins the illustrious roster of historical figures such as Catherine the Great, Charlemagne, Benjamin Franklin, and Augustus in Civilization VII. José Rizal not only enriches Civilization VII's diverse leader lineup but also pays homage to his enduring legacy as a defender of dignity and autonomy.
