Civilization VI brings the Leader Pass to console players today

In a surprising move, 2K and developers Firaxis have announced that the Leader Pass, a collection of new and modified leaders has been released today for consoles, joining the PC release that started last year.

The pack includes 18 leaders, 12 of them are all new and 6 of them are new takes on existing characters. What makes it surprising is that the pack was only ever going to be for PC, but apparently due to community feedback, the team made the decision to bring it over.

Here is the list of new leaders and those that are getting new takes.

New Leaders

  • Abraham Lincoln (United States)

  • Elizabeth I (England)

  • King Sundiata Keita (Mali)

  • Ludwig II (Germany)

  • Nader Shah (Persia)

  • Nzinga Mbande (Kongo)

  • Ramses (Egypt)

  • Sejong (Korea)

  • Theodora (Byzantines)

  • Tokugawa (Japan)

  • Wu Zetian (China)

  • Yongle (China)

New Takes on Existing Leaders

  • Ptolemaic Cleopatra (Egypt)

  • Qin Shi Huang the Unifier (China)

  • Suleiman the Magnificent (Ottoman Empire)

  • Sultan Saladin (Arabia)

  • Varangian Harald Hardrada (Norway)

  • Victoria - Age of Steam (England)

While the new content is something that requires an additional purchase, it is also included inside of the Anthology Bundle. For those who are not keen on spending more money, or are waiting for payday, a new update for the game has also been released.

The update is available across all platforms and brings in new fixes and adjustments, including buffs to Julius Caesar and additional leaders. You can read the full patch notes here.
