Civilization 6 DLC Rulers of China gets release date on Steam and Epic
Civilization 6: Rulers of China launches on Steam and Epic Games on January 19. In its announcement post, Firaxis states that the remaining three expansion packs for Civilization 6’s Leaders Pass will be released between January and March 2023, so expect to see more content in the near future. These three packs are in question: Rulers of the Sahara, Great Builders, and Rulers of England.
With the release of the Civ 6 Great Commanders DLC, this game now features Wu Zetian, Yongle, and Qin Shi Huang the Unifier as playable Chinese leaders.
Wu Zetian is recognizable to Civ 5 players, and the empress regnant of the Second Zhou Dynasty makes her triumphant return in this expansion. She was typically better at increasing population than expanding, and she was a great leader for pursuing a Science victory, so expect to see something similar here, though we do not yet know the leaders’ abilities.
The Yongle Emperor, also known as Zhu Di, was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is best known for compiling the Yongle Encyclopaedia and supervising the construction of the Forbidden City and the Nanjing Porcelain Tower. Consequently, it is possible for him to receive additional bonuses from Wonders.
While Qin Shi Huang already serves as China’s leader in Civilization 6, he returns here in a new guise as “The Unifier,” so you can expect some changes from his Civ 6 incarnation. Based on his new title as the first emperor of a unified China, Qin Shi Huang may receive bonuses to conquering other cities or even barbarians.
