2K and developer Firaxis have announced the Civilization VI: Leader Pass, a new DLC pack that will bring 12 new playable leaders to the game and 6 remixes of existing ones.

Leader Pass content will be delivered via six DLC packs scheduled for release from November 21, 2022 through March 2023, here are the pack breakdowns.

Pack 1: Great Negotiators

• Abraham Lincoln (United States)

• Queen Mbande Nzinga (Kongo)

• Sultan Saladin (Arabia)

Pack 2: Great Commanders

• Tokugawa (Japan)

• Nader Shah (Persia)

• Suleiman the Magnificent (Ottoman Empire)4

Pack 3: Rulers of China

• Yongle (China)

• Qin Shi Huang the Unifier (China)

• Wu Zetian (China)

Pack 4: Rulers of Sahara

• Ramses (Egypt)

• Ptolemaic Cleopatra (Egypt)

• King Sundiata Keita (Mali)

Pack 5: Great Builders

• Theodora (Byzantines)

• Sejong (Korea)

• Ludwig II (Germany)

Pack 6: Rulers of England

• Elizabeth I (England)

• Varangian Harald Hardrada (Norway)

• Victoria - Age of Steam (England)

While most content will work in the base game, some will require specific expansions to access, like Victoria - Age of Steam, that requires the Rise & Fall Expansion.

For Windows PC, if you purchase Civilization VI Anthology (or purchase all of the content that's included in it separately at any time), you'll be eligible to receive the Leader Pass for no additional charge. For Mac App Store and iOS, the Civilization VI: Leader Pass is available for individual purchase only.

Strangely the console release of the game is excluded from all this content again, but the series is at home on PC, so that is to be expected.
