Firaxis has published the release windows for the first two post-launch DLC bundles planned for Civilization 7, the Crossroads of the World Collection and Right to Rule Collection.

The Crossroads of the World Collection will consist of six separate DLCs that are all scheduled for release in March 2025, so the developers appear to be planning a big follow-up to the game’s launch in February. This package will bring two leaders, four civilizations, four wonders, a "Narrative and Wonder Pack" and special cosmetics to the game.

The Right to Rule Collection will also consist of six separate DLCs, which are supposed to come out from April to September 2025 with one DLC being released each month. This collection will feature the same amount of content as the first one.

It looks like Firaxis has a very robust content pipeline in place to support Civilization 7 in its first year and while – presumably – working on a larger and more substantial expansion for the title.

We got this information thanks to a recent Steam policy change for more transparency, which is forcing developers to provide more details on content included with special editions or expansion passes, such as release windows.

Speculation around the leaders and civilizations included in these packs is, of course, already running rampant within the community. Apart from some prominent absentees from the base game and the two collection names, there isn’t much of a basis to guess from, though.

Civilization 7 will be released on February 11, 2025, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
