Two years after its rocky launch, Civilization 7's first paid expansion Earthrise is on its way - but first comes the atomic age

Two years after its controversial launch, Civilization 7's first paid expansion, Earthrise, is set to arrive next year, following a host of free updates. The expanded game introduces the Atomic Age, extending the game's timeline into the near future, with new civilizations, leaders, and nuclear gameplay options. New features include Multilateral Agreements for diplomatic responses to nuclear stockpiles, and city-state-focused proxy warfare.

The Arc of Tomorrow update allows players to create film-related Great Works, and introduces Manufactured Goods for crafting resources such as Enriched Uranium. Both updates are scheduled for release in 2027, ahead of Civilization 7's space-themed expansion, Earthrise.
