Civilization VI Rise and Fall DLC

The hotly anticipated new DLC - which will be released in February - for the game promises brand new Great Ages, Loyalty and Governors systems as well as expanding on the existing Diplomacy and Government systems.

There is eight new civilisations for gamers to navigate as well as nine new leaders and brand new districts, wonders and buildings to be surrounded with.

They wrote on their website: "Successful leadership of a civilization can send it into a prosperous Golden Age, but falling behind can usher in a Dark Age. Respond well to the challenges of a Dark Age, and your civilization can rise again into renewal with a Heroic Age.

"Encourage the Loyalty of your citizens to keep your borders intact, or inspire Loyalty among other civilizations to expand your empire. World borders continually shift and change as Free Cities emerge from empires, and neighbors compete for the Loyalty of cities across the map.

"With the new the Governor system, players are able to further customize and specialize their cities, as well as react to the new challenges of Dark Ages and Loyalty. Each of the seven unique governors has its own promotion tree, and lends itself to different playstyles and strategies."

The 'Civilization VI' Rise and Fall expansion pack is available from February 8, 2018 but can be pre-purchased now for £24.99.
