  "account": "Civilization 7 will finally incorporate the atomic age in 2027, according to Firaxis. This is thanks to a free update known as Arc of Tomorrow, which is expected to be more extensive than the Test of Time update from the previous year. The update will extend the game's timeline from 1950 to 2050, introducing new features and gameplay opportunities. These include expanded nuclear warfare, new units, and a unique twist on mutually assured destruction. The update will also add modern elements such as transforming settlements into City States, engaging in proxy wars, manufacturing advanced resources like enriched uranium, and establishing a space agency in the modern age.",
