As a wholly owned subsidiary of Take Two, we can't accept unsolicited game ideas from fans. Game ideas can be sent to 2K, 10 Hamilton Landing, Novato, CA 94949.


Question :
When can we expect a Civ V?

Answer:
We recently released Civ IV: Complete for anyone who is interested in getting Civ IV, the two expansions (Warlords and Beyond the Sword) and Colonization all on one disc (and DRM free). We have always said that if the fans want more Civ we’ll keep making more, so stay tuned!


Question :
I really loved Alpha Centauri! Are you planning to make Alpha Centauri 2?

Answer:
We’re all big fans of Alpha Centauri as well. However, the rights to that game are owned by Electronic Arts (we were making games for them at the time) so any decision to make a sequel is up to them..

Question :
Where can I send Bug Reports?

Answer :
Please click here to access our feedback submission forms, then select the "about a bug in a game" option. Do NOT send feature requests, website error reports, or other non-game bug reports via this same form.


Question :
Do I have to have Civ IV in order to play Warlords, Beyond the Sword, or Civilization IV: Colonization?

Answer :
Warlords and Beyond the Sword are expansions to the basic Civ IV game, so you will need Civ IV to play those. Civilization IV: Colonization is a stand-alone game, which doesn’t require Civ IV to play. We also have Civilization IV: Complete, which includes Civilization IV and all its expansions in one DRM-free package!


Question :
I want to purchase or find more information on an older game (Covert Action, Pirates, Colonization, Silent Service, etc.) of Sid's, but do not know where to find it. Can you help me?

Answer :
These games were published many years ago and unfortunately, are out of print and unavailable through retailers. We suggest that you try online resources such as Google and eBay to find previously owned copies.
