Firaxis Unveils Civilization 7 Content Roadmap for 2025 and Beyond | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

With it almost being February, the onslaught of video games is almost upon us. Liable to consume endless hours if you let it, Civilization VII is out 11th February on PS5; 6th February if you're willing to pay extra for early access. Developer Firaxis has unveiled the content roadmap players can expect, with a fairly constant stream of updates planned for 2025 and beyond. As a bonus treat, we even got a trailer for Friedrich the Great.

Following a dedicated livestream event earlier today (thanks, IGN), it seems that both free and paid additional content, adding new Leaders, Civs, and Natural Wonders, is already on the way. The headliner is the two-part paid Crossroads of the World pack, which, in March, adds Leader Ava Lovelace and new Civs like Rome's ancient nemesis, Carthage, and the much more modern Great Britain to the game. Later in the month, Simon Bolivar will stir up a revolution alongside two more Civs, Bulgaria and Nepal.

Another two Leaders and four Civs are expected in the Right to Rule pack, scheduled for sometime between April and September, with a third pack seemingly teased for sometime after October. Free content updates sprinkled throughout will add challenges, events, and balancing patches.

A new golden age

Just one more turn

Shameful that something a civilisation as instrumental as Great Britain isn't in the base game, but is coming just 1(!!!) month after launch as premium
