Firaxis has just revealed that the fourth DLC pack in the Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass, Babylon Pack will make its debut on November 19. Just like the previous DLCs, Babylon Pack requires Civilization VI to play and will be available to anyone who owns the New Frontier Pass.

However, those who don't have the New Frontier Pass will be able to purchase the Babylon Pack for €4.99 / $4.99. The upcoming DLC will introduce a new leader and civilization, as well as 24 new Great People, six new City-States, two new unique improvements unlocked by the new City-States, and a new optional game mode - Heroes & Legends Mode.

The new game mode adds twelve powerful Hero units from the world's myths and legends, each possessing great power and unique abilities. More importantly, every Hero is unique and can be claimed by just one civilization. Also, they have a limited lifespan and will naturally expire after a set number of turns, though they can be recalled by spending Faith.

Unfortunately, 2K's announcement doesn't include any information about who the new leader might be, but the publisher promised to share more a first look video at the Babylonian leader ahead of next week's launch. Until then, Civilization fans can check out the latest development update video that offers in-depth details on the most important changes included in the upcoming DLC.

As mentioned earlier, Babylon Pack is the fourth DLC for Civilization VI and will be available for free as part of the New Frontier Pass, which costs €40 / $40. Alongside Babylon Pack, Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass owners are also getting three other DLCs: Byzantium & Gaul Pack, Ethiopia Pack, and Maya & Gran Colombia Pack. These are in addition to the two major expansions launched some time ago: Gathering Storm and Rise & Fall.
