2K’s Civilization Revolution demo’s now on Live, at 1.3Gb. The taster supplies both multiplayer and single-player modes, and should be going up on PSN as part of the normal Thursday update later today.

Again, it’s free. So get it.

According to Gamespot, 2K’s going to release a demo of Civilization Revolution this Thursday on PSN and Live.

The site says it’s going to be include single-player and online play, and will be released worldwide an 2am PST on Live.

It’ll be part of Sony’s weekly PSN update in North America only, apparently, with a global PS3 demo launched planned for “later this year.”

In case you were wondering, this is why Firaxis decided to stop developing the Wii version of Civilization Revolution.

“CivRev was originally a 360/PS3 project and was in development for over a year before the Wii/DS platforms were added, largely because we saw the success of those platforms and a lot of people (including myself) were very excited about them,” said Firaxis programmer Scott Lewis. “All of our assets were originally created with the 360/PS3 in mind. In order to bring them to the Wii, a great deal of work would have to go into making those assets look appropriate on Nintendo’s system. If we had started the project with all four platforms in mind, it is far more likely that we would not have put the Wii version of CivRev on hold.”

In this interview, Firaxis dev head Sid Meier has admitted the future may hold an MMO from the studio.

“I think someday I would like to try a game in that genre,” he said. “It really benefits from creativity and new ideas, but we’re still in the very early stages of exploring the possibilities of it. I certainly would like to play around with a MMO concept in the future.”

The interview centred on the impending release of Civilization Revolution, a console version from the long-standing strategy franchise.

The Wii version of Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution has been put “on hold”, publisher 2K has confirmed, leaving room to get Xbox 360 and PS3 SKUs ready for action later this year.

“Development for the Wii version of Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution is currently on hold,” a spokesperson for 2K Games said here. “We are focusing our attention on creating the best possible Civilization experience for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS platforms.”

Nintendo fans can take solace in the fact that the DS version is still on the go.
