Civilization 7 may have been a bit of a blunder according to fans, and for good reason, but Civilization 6 continues to be more popular than ever on Android, and Aspyr has announced it’s set to get better with new content, including maps, units, modes, and features set to be released soon, on June 12th.
What does this mean? Well, after quite some time, Android players will finally be in the same position as those who play on other platforms, which, for those who swap between their phones and PC, for example, will be music to their ears.
Per Aspyr, the new Civilization 6 Android update on June 12th will introduce:
- Three New Units
- Trebuchet: A Medieval-era Siege unit that upgrades to Bombard
- Man-At-Arms: A Medieval-era upgrade from Swordsman, transitioning into Musketman
- Line Infantry: An Industrial-era upgrade from Musketman, transitioning into Infantry
- Four New Maps: The Mediterranean Large Map and Earth Huge Map, featuring realistic terrain and resources, as well as variants for each map that start you at the location of your civilization’s historical capital
- New Game Modes
- Tech and Civic Shuffle Mode: Shuffles techs and civics within historical eras with varied costs and prerequisites
- Barbarian Clans Mode: Replaces traditional Barbarian Tribes with seven different clans that can convert into City-States
- New Features: The Natural Wonder and City-State Pickers, allowing players to select pools of Natural Wonders and City-States to appear in-game
- Additional Updates: The Leader Selection Pool, allowing players to pick from a curated list of leaders, along with new leader Julius Caesar
- Bug Fixes & Improvements: Over 50 bugs will be patched along with gameplay balancing and adjustments, multiplayer enhancements, and more.
As well as this, Civilization 6 Android players will finally be able to get their hands on two expansions, the New Frontier Pass and Leader Pass, at the same time! The New Frontier Pass ($29.99) includes eight new civilizations, nine new leaders, and a variety of new gameplay content, including six new game modes. The Leader Pass ($19.99) introduces 12 new leaders alongside six new takes on classic Civilization leaders.
