Firaxis Games Unveils Post-Launch Roadmap for Civilization VII

Firaxis Games recently detailed the post-launch roadmap for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII during a livestream event. The roadmap outlines substantial updates planned for 2025, including paid DLC and free content updates.

Several DLC packs are planned, adding Leaders, Civilizations, and Natural Wonders. These paid expansions are scheduled for spring and summer releases. Simultaneously, free content will be delivered through patches and in-game events.

The first major paid DLC, the "Crossroads of the World Collection," is a two-part release. Part one (early March) includes Leader Ada Lovelace, four Natural Wonders, and the Carthage and Great Britain civilizations. Part two (late March) features Leader Simon Bolivar and the Bulgaria and Nepal civilizations. Free content will also launch in early and late March, including new Natural Wonder events and Wonders themselves (Battle event and Bermuda Triangle in early March; Marvelous Mountains event and Mount Everest in late March).

Later in the year, the "Right Rule Collection" (summer release) will introduce two new leaders, four new civilizations, and four New World Wonders. Additional free content and updates are planned from April through September. Firaxis has committed to continued post-launch support from October 2025 onwards. Specific release dates for all announced content are yet to be revealed.

A developer diary further expands on planned features, including multiplayer team support, larger multiplayer lobbies, increased map variety, and modding tools. These will be released as soon as feasible, following initial bug fixes, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements. The livestream also showcased multiplayer gameplay, highlighting diverse strategic approaches to victory. A Q&A session addressed community questions.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII launches on PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on February 11th. Early access (Deluxe Edition) begins February 6th.
