Infogrames and Firaxis Games just announced that Sid Meier’s Civilization III has gone gold and will ship to retailers October 30. Read full pressrelease here!

Pre-sales have begun for the highly anticipated third installment of the game franchise that has kept game players in front of computers way into the night for over ten years: Sid Meier’s Civilization® III. As the pre-sales mount, it has come as no surprise that the most dedicated aficionados of the game are snapping up the special limited edition version of Civilization III that has been capped at a one-time run of 75,000 units.

Firaxis and Infogrames let us know this morning that the site for Civilization III is just updated with new screenshots, trailers, screensavers and wallpapers. Bring me there.

BonusWeb posted up a video from the behind-closed-doors presentation of Sid Meier's Civilization III. You find it here.
