Sid Meier’s Civilization VI sets another milestone in the Civilization franchise, which has sold-in over 34 million units worldwide and changed the gaming landscape by bringing the strategy genre to unparalleled heights.

In Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, cities will physically expand across the map to create new, deep strategic layers, active research in technology and culture will unlock new potential ways to play; and the large variety of leaders will pursue their own agendas based on their historical character traits as players race to achieve victory however they choose to play.

The fifth DLC pack in the Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass – the Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack – will be launching on Thursday, January 28, 2021.

The Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack includes a new leader and civilization, Kublai Khan as a new alternate leader for China and Mongolia, a new game mode and a new district - the Preserve, which includes two new buildings in the Grove and the Sanctuary. 

Kublai Khan reigned from 1260 to 1294 AD and created an empire that ran from the Korean Peninsula to the very edges of modern-day Baghdad. He was the ruler of the Mongolian Empire and founded the Yuan Dynasty in China, serving as Emperor.

Available as an alternate leader to both Mongolia and China, Kublai Khan's unique ability is "Gerege" - providing one extra Economic policy slot in any government. It also grants a random Eureka and Inspiration when establishing a Trading Post in another civilization's city for the first time.

As a leader of China, Kublai Khan's science boosts are even more powerful and his extra policy slot empowers economic strategies. As a leader of Mongolia, Kublai Khan leverages trade routes for military might. 

The new game mode is called Monopolies & Corporations, bringing more robust economic gameplay that enables you to build an economic empire and live out your fantasies of swimming in pools of coins! With the new game mode, you'll be able to create an entire Industry around duplicate resources. Industries provide powerful buffs to their home cities and a steady supply of Great Merchant points; continue to collect more and you can level up an Industry to a Corporation. Your Corporations will allow you to create Products that are slotted into the Stock Exchange and Seaport buildings (like Great Works to Museums). If you do manage to dominate the global supply of a luxury resource, you can create a Monopoly, generating a massive amount of gold and Tourism.

The Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack requires Civilization VI to play and will be available to anyone who owns the Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass or available for individual purchase for $8.99.
