CONTENT ROADMAP

Some of the new game modes released in New Frontier Pass will require specific expansions like Gathering Storm & Rise and Fall for it to work. In other words, make sure you read the updated information and requirements thoroughly before making that purchase. Otherwise, if you already have both expansions, then you nothing to worry about.

If you’re not planning on getting the New Frontier Pass, don’t worry because 2K Games also announced that they will be releasing six additional free updates for all Civilization VI owners/players.

EXCLUSIVE BONUS:

Aside from the six premium DLCs and free updates, the New Frontier Pass will include 2 Exclusive Bonus content: Teddy Roosevelt and Catherine De Medici persona packs. From the official blog post:

Two of Civilization VI’s leaders are transformed with a new look and new abilities when you lead America and France! “Rough Rider Teddy” excels at keeping the peace on his home continent, and “Magnificence Catherine” can use Luxuries to overwhelm the world with Culture and Tourism. Each Persona Pack contains a brand-new take on a favorite leader, with a new leader model and background, new gameplay bonuses, and an updated agenda that reflects the changes to the leader’s personality. The Persona Packs are available exclusively to owners of the New Frontier Pass and will be delivered with the second add-on pack.

I’m a casual gamer and right now, the only game I play is Civilization VI. I’m not really that excited about this new update, unlike my 13-year old son who also plays the game. However, I will still get the New Frontier Pass so my son can play it and also for me to try it out. In addition, I’m also glad to see that instead of releasing a new version of the game, 2K Games is updating the current game with new features and content.
