Released back in 2016, Civilization VI is still getting post-launch support from developer Firaxis. The game just received a brand new DLC called Maya & Gran Colombia Pack. It is the first DLC for the New Frontier Pass. If you don’t want to buy the pass then you can purchase the DLC separately for only $8.99. However, if you do decide to buy the Pass, then you will get additional goodies like Teddy Roosevelt and Catherine De Medici Persona Packs.
Maya & Gran Colombia Pack brings two different civilizations and leaders. Maya is the leader of Lady Six Sky and Simón Bolívar is the leader of Gran Colombia. The update also brought a new ‘Apocalypse’ game mode, but you do need the Gathering Storm expansion in order to play. Highlights of the update are mentioned below. You can read the complete patch notes on the official site.
