"Multiplayer is also receiving an upgrade in VI, with an eye towards expediency. Even at the fastest speeds games can take more than five hours to complete. This is fine for solo play, but finding that much time with one or more friends can be a real pain, made even worse if playing hotseat and alternating turns on a single computer. To address this, the designers are adding multiplayer modes intended to be completed within a single session of a few hours. They have not yet offered any details of how these will work, but it’s an exciting prospect for players looking to get their multiplayer fix with limited schedules."
