Civ 6's First New Frontier Pass DLC Is Out Now On All Platforms

Publisher 2K Games has announced that the first DLC expansion for Sid Meier's Civilization 6 New Frontier Pass, titled the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack, is now available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The expansion pack features a bunch of content, including two new leaders--Lady Six Sky of the Maya civilization and Simon Bolivar of Gran Colombia--the added Apocalypse game mode, extra resources (like honey and maize), more natural wonders (such as the Bermuda Triangle and others), and additional city-states.

Some of these city-scapes include Caguana, Singapore, Lahore, Vatican City, and more. Further, the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack includes other natural wonders like Paititi and Fountain of Youth.

The biggest addition to Civ 6 from the expansion pack is the Apocalypse mode. It introduces new disaster types--Solar Flares that cause forest fires and Comet Impacts that result in meteor showers--to all games while increasing the size of existing disasters. In addition to this, the Apocalypse mode adds the new Soothsayer support military unit that can trigger natural disasters and a scored competition that allows you to sacrifice units to volcanoes. The Gathering Storm expansion is required to play the new Apocalypse mode.

The New Frontier Pass retails for $40, while the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack can be purchased individually for $9. You can check out some of the expansion's screenshots below.
