The development team at Firaxis continues to drip-feed fans information about the coming Brave New World expansion for Civilization V, with Pedro II of Brazil announced as one of the new leaders that gamers will be able to use to lead their faction to victory.

He joins two other historical figures, Casimir I of Poland and Ashurbanipal of Assyria, and there are six new leaders that will be revealed before the expansion is available, each of them with their unique personality and gameplay focus.

Brave New World is designed to expand the turn-based strategy title by adding new trade routes, archeology events, new global bodies, an entirely new system of ideology and culture and a better game A.I.

Civilization V Brave New World will be offered exclusively on the PC during early July.
