CIVILIZATION VI gets new leaders this winter with the Leader Pass DLC

Firaxis Games and 2K Games recently announced the launch of a new DLC set for Civilization VI. The new Leader Pass brings 12 brand new leaders to the game plus six new takes on the currently included leaders. The new content will be available for iOS, Mac and PC (via Steam and Epic) as leaders are released in batches of three. Any PC gamer who has purchased the Civilization VI Anthology or purchased all included content separately, will receive the Leader Pass for free. Mac and iOS users will need to make an individual purchase, and PC players who haven’t purchased all previous content will have the option to purchase the Leader Pass separately.

We don’t know much about the new leaders and new takes on leaders, but we do know that each leader “will come with a set of surprising new or updated abilities along with inventive new agendas that will change the way you play when you pursue world domination.” I always like a good game of Civilization VI and I’m interested to see what these new leaders bring to the table. The Leader Pass will be released between November 21st and March 2023. Please note that some leaders require additional DLC and expansions, those leaders have been marked with an asterisk
