Civilization VI announces new Leader Pass DLC, adds a dozen new leaders

Civilization VI

Over a year after Firaxis released the Civilization VI Anthology, what they dubbed the “complete” experience “all in one bundle,” they’ve announced more DLC for the game.

The developer has announced a new “Leader Pass” for the long-running 4X strategy game, which adds a dozen leaders to shake things up with new traits and personalities. Furthermore, there will be six “new takes” on existing leaders.


“The Leader Pass encourages you to break out of your comfort zone with new approaches to diplomacy, war, expansion, and more,” 2K said.

Each leader in the new pack comes with a “suite of surprising new or updated abilities,” alongside new agendas that’ll “change the way you play over five exciting months of world domination.”

Like their previous season passes, this new Leader Pass will roll out in six separate DLC packs starting with the Great Negotiators pack on November 21st:
