The update will be free for everyone and will release on Feb 25.

It’ll include a new Barbarian Clans game mode that will add depth to the interaction with the hated red icons on your map, ultimately allowing them to become city states (if you let them).

We’re also getting a new leader picker to keep that hated one you really don’t want to see out of your games (or the opposite), and new balancing tweaks.

You can check out the video below.

If you’d like to know about the latest paid DLC, you can watch the recent’s video showing the main features of the latest package and another focusing on Vietnam.

If you’re interested in more paid DLC, you can take a look at the announcement of the New Frontier Pass, which includes BabylonGran Colombia, the MayaEthiopiaByzantium, and Gaul.

Another video from a couple of months ago also showcased the content that came in the previous free update in December.

One more paid DLC package is coming in and March 2021. All recent DLC packages and updates have been made available simultaneously on all platforms including PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
