Firaxis Games Unveils Post-Launch Roadmap for Civilization VII

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

Several DLC packs are slated for release, adding Leaders, Civilizations, and Natural Wonders. The first 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) will feature Leader Simon Bolivar and the Bulgaria and Nepal civilizations. Free content updates, 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), will also launch alongside the paid DLC in March.

Further paid content, the Right Rule Collection, is scheduled for summer 2025, introducing two new leaders, four new civilizations, and four New World Wonders. Additional free content and updates are planned for April through September. Firaxis has committed to continued post-launch support from October 2025 onwards. Specific release dates for all announced content remain unconfirmed.

Beyond the DLC, a developer diary highlighted additional planned features, including multiplayer team support, larger multiplayer lobbies, increased map variety, and modding tools. These features will be rolled out as they are ready. The diary also emphasized upcoming bug fixes, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements.

The livestream also showcased multiplayer gameplay, demonstrating diverse victory strategies. A Q&A session addressed community questions.
