CIVILIZATION VI Gets New Leaders This Winter with the Leader Pass DLC

Firaxis Games and 2K Games recently announced a new DLC set launching for Civilization VI. The new Leader Pass brings 12 brand-new leaders to the game plus six new takes on currently included leaders. The new content will be available for iOS, Mac, and PC (via Steam and Epic) as the leaders are released in groups of three. Any PC player who has purchased the Civilization VI Anthology or has purchased all of the included content separately, will receive the Leader Pass for free. Mac and iOS users will have to make an individual purchase and PC players who haven’t purchased all previous content will have the option to purchase the Leader Pass separate.

We don’t know very much about the new leaders and new takes on leaders, but we do know that each leader “will arrive with a suite of surprising new or updated abilities alongside inventive new agendas that'll change the way you play when pursuing world domination.” I always love a good game of Civilization VI and am interested to see what these new Leaders bring to the table. The Leader Pass will release between November 21 and March 2023. Please note that some leaders to require other DLC and expansions, those leaders have been marked with an asterisk (*).
