2K has announced that their upcoming Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass will bring eight new civilization, nine new leaders, six new game modes and more to its critically-acclaimed strategy game. The content will be released in six DLC packs delivered on a bimonthly basis beginning on the 21st of May 2020 until March 2021.
“It’s been four years since we first announced Civilization VI, and the support from fans and players has been overwhelming,” said Ed Beach, franchise lead designer at Firaxis Games. “After two giant expansions in ‘Rise and Fall‘ and ‘Gathering Storm‘, four years’ worth of balance updates and more, Civilization VI has grown into the flagship title for the series.”
“We’re very excited to be adding even more content to Civilization VI, ensuring longtime players and franchise newcomers have something fresh to look forward to in the months to come,” added Anton Strenger, lead game designer at Firaxis Games. “By delivering new content on a regularly scheduled basis, we’ll have more opportunities than ever with the New Frontier Pass to connect with our community as we actively develop and deliver content.”
Anyone who purchases the Civilization V – New Frontier Pass will receive the Teddy Roosevelt and Catherine De Medici Persona Packs as exclusive bonuses. This brings a new take on these favourite leaders with new models and background. “Rough Rider Teddy” excels at keeping the peace on his home continent, while “Magnificence Catherine” can use Luxuries to overwhelm the world with Culture and Tourism. The Persona Packs will be available with the second DLC Pack in July.
Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass will be available for USD $39.99 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, Mac and Linus. It will also be available for mobile platforms later this year. Each individual DLC pack will also be available for individual purchase; the first DLC offering, the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack, will add leaders from each respective civilization, a new Apocalypse game mode, new City-States, Resources and Natural Wonders, and will launch on 21st of May 2020.
