A free DLC for Civilization 7 has been released, and this is only part of the upcoming updates. The Tides of Power add-on can be picked up for free until January 5, 2026. The first part with the Pirate Republic is available to players, and the next stage is scheduled for December.
Firaxis is trying to improve the game's reputation after a weak reception on Steam, as the average rating of Civilization 7 still does not reach 50%. In a recent video, the developers talked about the reworked balance between civilizations and updates related to naval battles. A new building, a new combat unit have been added to the game, and the system of battles on the water has been improved.
Firaxis has also confirmed that it is testing a new mode where one civilization goes through all eras of development.
