A previously unknown Leaders Pass DLC, which appears to include iconic leaders from earlier games in the Civ series, was revealed through art that was released to Civilization 6’s mobile website. Both Ramesses II and former Egyptian pharaoh Abraham Lincoln are vividly depicted in the artwork. Ngola Nzinga of Ndongo is standing next to them, and I’m going to have to infer that the one wearing the ruff is either Queen Elizabeth I or Mary, Queen of Scots, just based on That Hair. If I’m incorrect, do let me know.

Lincoln has made an appearance in each Civilization game to date, although only in one scenario in Civ 5. Even though Ramesses skipped Civ 3, he has been a significant leader in the series thus far. The piece of art was swiftly removed, but not before observant redditors circulated it on the Civ subreddit. Just over six years have passed since the release of Civilization 6. The New Frontier Pass, which brought eight new civilizations between May 2020 and March of last year, included Ethiopia, Babylon, and Portugal, was the most recent expansion pass to add new civs. Additionally, nine new rulers were introduced, including Kublai Khan for Mongolia and China and Basil II of Byzantium.

In his Civilization 6 review, Adam (RPS in peace) thought the game had undergone a significant change. He said, “Civ VI breaks all of my old routines.” “I’m a nonviolent Civilization IV player who now enjoys starting and ending fights, and I’m a culture-hungry tourist attraction who has erected steaming huge industrial empires. Civ VI demands adaptability in thought and function, and it amply rewards it with a game that gracefully accommodates a variety of distinct playstyles.

For £50/$60/€60, Civilization VI is available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Additionally, the game is accessible on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4.
