The latest update for Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 is here and includes a ton of content for the recent Tides of Power Collection DLC, an expansion that’s available to claim for free right now as part of a limited-time offer.
Tides of Power Collection owners can now play as new leader Sayyida al Hooray. Famous historical figure, she was the wife of the Moroccan king and governor of the city of Tetouan. In-game, his abilities are geared towards diplomacy and military strength, with a unique ability to reward a free naval unit for each spy action completed.
Two new civilizations have also arrived: Iceland for the Age of Exploration and the Ottomans for the Modern Age.
Players on all platforms can add the Tides of Power Collection to their libraries for free until January 5, 2026. After this date, publisher 2K says it will be available for purchase, so be sure to grab it for free while you can.
It also includes pirate leader Edward Teach, the Republic of Pirates and the Tongan civilizations, and four new wonders that were released in November.
In addition to this, the update introduces a new Shattered Seas map type. It seems like the perfect choice for those who crave naval combat, with plenty of large islands and plenty of ocean to explore.
This is in addition to a host of biome improvements, some strategic balance changes, and plenty of fixes that you can see in full via the official patch notes.
Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 is now available for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
