Millennia has a solid premise. A 4X strategy game in the style of Civilization 6, it sees players guiding their population from its earliest days at the dawn of humanity through to various possible futures, weathering crises and defining a national identity as time marches onward.

Image: Abigail Bassett for The Verge Waymo’s plans to expand its robotaxi fleet are facing new roadblocks thanks to the Biden administration’s trade policies. The Alphabet-owned company had planned to introduce a new robotaxi manufactured by Zeekr, a subsidiary of China’s Geely.
