After a rocky release, Civilization 7 aims to stabilise its reputation with a series of updates and DLC’s coming to the game in March and April.
March has already seen the game’s first major DLC, Crossroads of the World Collection (Release 1), and major update 1.1.0.
The second release of Crossroads of the World is set to launch at the end of the month alongside update 1.1.1, while April will bring with it the Right to Rule Collection DLC and update 1.2.0.
The free updates aim to give players a more balanced and user-friendly game, with consistent UI, AI and gameplay changes made to improve the feel and structure of the new release.
Crossroads of the World Collection
The two parts of the Crossroads of the World DLC bring a host of new civlizations, leaders, and unique world wonders to the game.
Part 1 brought Carthage and Great Britain to the game, while part 2 will include Bulgaria and Nepal. Players will be eager to get their hands on each civilizations unique abilities, equipment and units and be able to live out the histories of some of the world’s most famous empires.
Additionally, the two DLC’s will include two new leaders you can choose to command you Civilization, Ada Lovelace and Simon Bolivar. Both have unique abilites related to their historical roles, with Simon improving war support and making it easier to build on newly conquered land, while Ada gives you access to greater levels of science development.
Crossroads of the World will also include four new Natural Wonders to discover, Machupuchare, Mount Fuji, Vihren and Vinicunca.
Right to Rule Collection
While the details of the Right to Rule Collection have been limited, we do know that it will follow a similar structure to Crossroads of the World, with various releases throughout April-September and a number of civilizations, leaders and world wonders coming to the game.
So far, we know that Genghis Khan and Lakshmibai will join the current cast of leaders, and Assyria, Dai Viet, Qajar and Silla will become new civilizations.
Unfortunately, we still have to wait for the details of each new character and country and what abilities and unlocks they will bring to the game.
We also know that there will be four new World Wonders for players to construct throughout their game, but the exact details of these wonders is also so far unknown.
Civilization 7 and its new DLC’s is available on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S
