Firaxis Games unveiled the post-launch roadmap for Sid Meier's Civilization VII during a recent livestream. The roadmap outlines substantial updates planned for 2025, including several DLC packs and free content updates.
Paid DLC will arrive in two parts, collectively titled the Crossroads of the World Collection. Part one (early March) features Leader Ada Lovelace, four Natural Wonders, and the Carthage and Great Britain civilizations. Part two (late March) includes Leader Simon Bolivar and the Bulgaria and Nepal civilizations. Free content drops are also scheduled for early and late March, featuring new Natural Wonder events and Wonders themselves (Battle event and Bermuda Triangle in early March; Marvelous Mountains event and Mount Everest in late March).
Further paid DLC, the Right Rule Collection, is slated for summer 2025, adding two leaders, four civilizations, and four New World Wonders. Additional free content and updates are planned from April through September. Firaxis promises continued post-launch support from October 2025 onward. Specific release dates remain unannounced.
A developer diary blog post expands on these plans, promising additions such as multiplayer team support, larger lobby sizes, enhanced map variety, and modding tools. These features will be released as soon as feasible, alongside bug fixes, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements.
