April 22, 2021 The full April patch notes have been revealed. Trebuchets!
Come Thursday, the final expansion in Civ 6's New Frontier Pass will release. This has been a year-long experiment run by strategy game legends Firaxis in seeing how else the studio can deliver content for the popular 4X game, outside of the traditional expansion model. While the last paid expansion is this week, the final update of the entire season is next month - and it's going to be big.
As we previously reported, Firaxis confirmed on a live stream that it's looking to rebalance around two-thirds of all civilisations in the game, which as of Portugal's release will bring the count to 50. We recently caught up with Kevin Schultz (associate producer) and Anton Strenger (lead designer) who you may recognise from Civ 6's incredibly extra developer updates.
They wouldn't confirm the details of what the April patch would bring, but it sounds like it's going to shake things up. "We've been sitting in waiting on a lot of exciting balance changes for a long time," Strenger tells us. "This is going to be probably the biggest community update event ever."
