Early next year, Civilization VI is going to get bigger. Announced just today (with a CGI trailer), Firaxis is going to expand its premiere strategy series with Civilization VI: Rise and Fall. Launching February 8, 2018, this new expansion will focus on “Great Ages” and introduce a new concept where your empire can go through a dark period. A new city based loyalty system also means your cities are at a constant threat from your misdirection, so you can’t rest on your laurels and expect to win.

“Rise triumphantly from a Dark Age and your next Golden Age will be even stronger – a Heroic Age,” says 2K Games. “With the new Great Ages system in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Rise and Fall, players can experience the ebb and flow of building empires amidst the challenges of history, either to lasting greatness or the dust of antiquity.”

In my review, I found Civilization VI to be one of the most feature complete launches in the series’ history. I honestly couldn’t picture what an expansion would even add, but Rise and Fall seems to be going in the right direction. Hopefully it fixes some of the lin💞g🐈ering AI issues that the core game still has.
