Civilization VI Announces ‘Gathering Storm’ Expansion

Introducing Climate Change in Civilization VI

The second big expansion for Civilization VI has been announced called ‘Gathering Storm’. It is adding new advanced technologies, engineering projects, and the fan-favorite World Congress. Most of all, it introduces a living world ecosystem which showcases natural events that could enrich or challenge your growing empire.

Furthermore, Gathering Storm adds eight new civilizations and nine new leaders and seven new World Wonders. Plus, a variety of new units, districts, buildings, improvements and more.

“History is full of rich stories of great empires, exploration, survival, and the human spirit,” Says Ed Beach, Franchise Lead Designer for Civilization VI. “Our story of human history was missing something without the impact that a changing planet has had on our settlements, and the imprints that we have left behind on Earth.”

To read the full change log, visit the official announcement website. Moreover, fans can follow its development through social media via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

When is the Gathering Storm Expansion Coming Out?

Civilization VI: Gathering Storm will launch for Windows PC on February 14, 2019, and it is now available for pre-order for $39.99 USD.
