Right on schedule, developer Firaxis Games has now unleashed information on this month’s update for Civilization VI. Unlike in recent months, this expansion will come free to all players, and will be packaged with a new mode, additional customization, and rebalances to loot found in one area of the strategy game.
Releasing on February 25, the free community update will primarily restructure how barbarians are used by way of an optional game mode, Barbarian Clans. According to the developer, this feature expands beyond the standard “kill-or-be-killed option” and ultimately introduces six Barbarian clans that can be upgraded into city-states. These clans can be added to a user’s army or even bribed to avoid any conflict.
