A couple weeks ago, there were rumors swirling about Civilization VI adding a new content pass similar to the New Frontier Pass from 2020 - 2021. Firaxis confirmed these rumors and provided the full details yesterday in a post outlining the new content. Essentially, they're adding 6 new DLC batches that include 3 leaders each, without adding any new nations to the game. According to the Steam page, you can get this pack for free if you purchased the Anthology Edition of the game, or it's available separately for purchase (price TBD). Some of the content depends on having purchased prior expansions and/or DLC, which is something to watch out for (same as the New Frontier Pass).
The reason I'm conflicted is that the New Frontier Pass felt like a good sendoff for the game, and it's been 18 months since its final content released. We all sort of figured Firaxis was moving on (to a spinoff like Beyond Earth or maybe a 7th mainline entry), or at the very least tying a bow on this game. I'm clearly a mark for Civ games, having purchased every bit of DLC for this and Civilization V, so I'm almost certainly taking the plunge on the new leaders. However, I've found that I've kind of moved on from the game, not having gone back to it since the final New Frontier pack dropped. Moreover, I wonder what this sudden spurt of new content for Civ VI means for those future plans, and if I should expect a Civ VII any time in the next several years. Curious to hear how others feel about this news, and what you think of the new DLC content-wise as well.
