Firaxis has announced a Leader Pass for Civilization VI. The Pass consists of six DLC packs with a total of eighteen new leader selections, twelve of which are new leaders. The first pack will be released on November 21, the last one in March 2023.
Packs only contain leaders for existing civilizations; so the dlc does not add new civilizations. Of the eighteen leader selections, six are alternatives to existing leaders. For example, the third pack contains an alternate version of Qin Shi Huang, one of the leaders of Chinese civilization.
Each pack consists of three leaders. Those leaders add new abilities to the game. Some existing Civ VI leaders also contain unique units and buildings. It is unclear whether this will also be the case for Leader Pass leaders. The Leader Pass is available for Windows, MacOS, and iOS, and is free for Civilization VI Anthology owners. It is not known how much the pass will cost outside of this version of the Anthology. Some leaders only work if certain DLC is purchased, as some leaders are linked to civilizations by DLC.
Civilization VI was released in 2016 and received the latest DLC in January 2021, with the latest pack released de New Frontier Pass. The major expansions Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm were released earlier.
