Crossroads of the World, the first DLC for Civilization VII, arrives in March in two parts. The initial release features Great Britain and Carthage as playable civilizations, introducing Ada Lovelace, the pioneering computer scientist, as a new leader. Three weeks later, the second installment adds Simon Bolivar as a leader and introduces Bulgaria and Nepal as new civilizations to the game.

Further expanding the Civilization VII experience, the Right to Rule DLC, slated for release in Q2 2025 (April-September), will include two more leaders, four additional civilizations, and new natural wonders.

Firaxis is committed to ongoing improvements, adding new challenges and events. March will see the introduction of new in-game events and natural wonders, such as the Bermuda Triangle and Mount Everest.
