Who’s Ready To Rise And Fall?
The Civilization series stands at the very pinnacle when it comes to 4X strategy games. Heck, Civilization V ended up having so much glorious DLC that by the end of it we actually felt like we had created an empire that spanned the globe. One that we could also destroy with the press of a button.
Now it seems that its successor is determined to up the ante, as it was recently announced that Civilization VI’s first expansion was being released early next year.
According to an article on Gamespot –
Publisher 2K has revealed the first expansion for Civilization VI, called Rise and Fall. The expansion adds eight civilizations and nine new leaders, along with a variety of new systems to further bolster the turn-based strategy game.
In addition to the new civilizations, Rise and Fall adds eight new world wonders as well as new units, districts, buildings, and improvements. It also expands the Government and Diplomacy systems, allowing you to form new types of partnerships with other civs that can provide new bonuses. It also adds Great Ages and Governors, which are characters that can be hired to further customize a city.
Rise and Fall introduces a number of features designed to level out the playing field in the later game, when it can be hard to catch up to the civilization in the lead. This includes a Loyalty system for cities and other adjustments. For more details, check our preview of Rise and Fall’s new systems.
Civ 6: Rise and Fall launches for PC on February 8, 2018.
Will it manage to live up to such an incredible legacy? After Civilization V: Brave New World, that’s going to be quite the task. Hopefully the expansion will manage to propel Sid Meier’s latest game to even greater heights!
