The Tecumseh and Shawnee Pack is a thrilling addition that introduces you to the leader Tecumseh and the Shawnee civilization. Tecumseh is a master of diplomacy and defense, known for his unique trait Nicaakiyakoolaakwe, boosting food, production, and combat strength based on allied city-states. The Shawnee civilization, shining in the Exploration Age, garners extra food from river-based settlements due to their distinctive trait Nepekifaki, though riverless settlements see a slight decrease in food production. The Serpent Mound is their celebrated wonder.

Expand your empire with the Crossroads of the World Collection, bringing in 2 new leaders, 4 civilizations, 4 Natural Wonders, plus an exclusive cosmetic enhancement—all coming your way after launch.

The Right to Rule Collection will even further your dominion, also post-launch, with the same vibrant lineup but new leaders and civilizations.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII invites you into the world of empire-building like never before. Here, every strategic choice you make paves the way for your civilization’s cultural evolution. You can take the helm of iconic leaders from across history or blaze new trails with civilizations that mirror different eras of human advancement. Expand cities, achieve technological triumphs, and decide whether conquest or cooperation is your path in a vibrant solo journey—or with friends in multiplayer.

The expansive features of Civilization VII are ready to make your strategic ambitions come alive.

Each Right to Rule Collection DLC will drop automatically by September 2025, adding layers to your game universe as they arrive. Keep in mind, online play and features require a stable internet connection and a 2K Account with age-appropriate terms applied.
