14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Firaxis Games announced earlier this year that it will add a lot of content to Civilization VI starting from May 2020 until March 2021. Six premium add-on packs have been scheduled to be released throughout the year and the first three months of 2021, and two of them have already been launched: Maya & Gran Colombia Pack and Ethiopia Pack.
Today, Firaxis Games revealed the third pack that is coming to Civilization VI on September 24: Byzantium and Gaul. The upcoming pack adds to new civilizations, as well as two new World Wonders and a new map script – the Highlands.
But that's not all. The Byzantium and Gaul Pack also includes a new optional game mode called Dramatic Ages, where civilizations always enter Golden or Dark Ages every era that features more potent bonuses and penalties.
Furthermore, instead of Dedications, players will gain access to powerful new Social Policies like Golden Policies and updated Dark Policies that offer more flexibility and power. However, Dark Ages in particular will be more dangerous than ever, as players in Dark Ages will have a portion of their empire immediately fall into Free Cities, and Free Cities can exert pressure on other cities.
Civilization VI fans can watch a first look video of the leaders for Byzantium and Gaul ahead of the premium pack's launch scheduled for next week. Keep in mind that more videos will be released over the next days, so make sure to tune to Civilization VI on YouTube if you want to learn more about the upcoming DLC.
It's important to mention that the third DLC pack in the Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass – Byzantium and Gaul will be available for individual purchase for $9 / €9. However, those who already own the New Frontier Pass will receive the new DLC for free.
