14 DAY TRIAL // Gathering Storm is the second major expansion for Civilization VI, providing players with new challenges and scenarios.
The first Civilization VI expansion was called Rise and Fall and introduced new factors that allowed civilizations to fall due to a number of circumstances. It’s also worth remembering that it was all the way back in February 2018.
It took a long time to get the second expansion, but it’s finally here. Players should be happy to know that it’s a consistent one, and, just like the previous one, it’s expected to enhance the gameplay with new technologies, goals, and gameplay mechanics
It’s launching in February
From the looks of it, Firaxis and 2K are planning to launch new expansion in February, which means that it will be a full year between two pieces of content released. And, if we take into consideration that Civilization VI had a lukewarm welcome, it seems like the developers are pushing things a little too much.
“As Sid Meier’s Civilization approaches its 27th anniversary, 2K is honored to unveil Civilization VI’s second robust expansion, inviting fans to explore and master the franchise’s rich and strategic gameplay in all-new ways with Civilization VI: Gathering Storm,” said Melissa Bell, SVP and Head of Global Marketing at 2K. “Once again, the team at Firaxis has exceeded expectations to evolve Civilization’s features with the largest expansion ever developed for the series.”
Among the new features that are being added to the Civilization VI, we’ll see environment effects such as volcanoes, storms, climate change, floods, and droughts, strategic resources, a world congress, fresh 21st century technologies, a couple of new scenarios, and new leaders.
Civilization VI is available right now PC, Nintendo Switch, Linux and Mac OS. Gathering Storm will land in February only for the PC platforms, but Mac OS and Linux versions should follow soon after.
