We’re coming to the end of Civilization VI’s New Frontier Pass - a year-long run of new Civ 6 DLC and free content that closes out with the Portugal pack this week, and then the free update in April that’s looking to rebalance around two-thirds of the game’s 50 civilisations.
Civilization VI has experimented with several different post-release DLC models. It started with a run of small expansions - typically map and new Civ 6 civs combo packs - before moving on to offer larger expansions. Like Civ 5 before it, Civ 6 has so-far received two larger add-ons (Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm), and now the devs have been trialling the New Frontier Pass as a third method of offering more content, which they knew players wanted.
But the million dollar question is: did it work? We caught up with Kevin Schultz (associate producer) and Anton Strenger (lead designer) to talk about the New Frontier Pass and what the team had learned over the past year: “Absolutely. I think we definitely considered it a success,” Schultz tells us. “We did have a sales expectation that we met.”
