Civilization VI expands its story with six new DLCs featuring powerful leaders from the past

2K has just announced an expansion for its acclaimed strategy game Civilization VI. Titled the Leader Pass, it is a massive season pass with six DLC packs that will slowly launch in phases, until March 2023, with the first one, Great Negotiators, kicking things off on November 21st.

The Leader Pass in Civilization VI pushes the game’s boundaries as 12 new leaders join six novel takes on pre-existing leaders. Diplomacy, war, espionage, and expansion have always been the tools of a successful empire and this update will feature brand-new approaches for that.
