The much-anticipated first DLC for *Civilization VII*, named "Crossroads of the World," is set to roll out in two exciting installments this March. In the first stage, players will step into the shoes of both Great Britain and Carthage, guided by the innovative Ada Lovelace, a computer pioneer who emerges as a new leader. Just three weeks after the initial release, the second phase will introduce Simon Bolivar as a leader, alongside the new civilizations of Bulgaria and Nepal.
Looking further ahead, the "Right to Rule" DLC is slated for release sometime between April and September 2025. This update promises to enrich the game with two additional leaders, four new civilizations, and captivating natural wonders, further expanding the *Civilization VII* universe.
Firaxis Games is committed to enhancing the *Civilization VII* experience through continuous updates. In March, players can look forward to new in-game events and the introduction of awe-inspiring natural wonders such as the Bermuda Triangle and Mount Everest.
