More Sean Bean narration!
Early next year,Civilization VIis going to get bigger. Announced just today (with a CGI trailer), Firaxis is going to expand its premiere strategy series withCivilization VI: Rise and Fall. Launching Jun 28, 2025, this new expansion will focus on “Great Ages” and introduce a new concept where your empire can go through a dark period. A new city based loyalty system also means your cities are at a constant threat from your misdirection, so you may’t rest on your laurels and expect to win.
“Rise triumphantly from a Dark Age and your next Golden Age will be even stronger – a Heroic Age,” says 2K Games. “With the new Great Ages system in Sid Meier’sCivilization VI: Rise and Fall, players can experience the ebb and flow of building empires amidst the challenges of history, either to lasting greatness or the dust of antiquity.”
In my review, I foundCivilization VIto be one of the most feature complete launches in the series’ history. I honestly couldn’t picture what an expansion would even add, butRise and Fallseems to be going in the right direction. Hopefully it fixes some of the lingering AI issues that the core game still has.
