Epic Games will spoil you with its giveaway, first with GTA V last week, now Civilization VI. The company has announced that it is providing everyone with a free copy of the Civilization VI game, which will stay with you forever. Just like the GTA V offer, Civilization VI is also being offered for free for a week until 11 AM ET (8:30 PM IST) 28 May.
The game is the latest release in the Civilization franchise that dates all the way back to 1991. The sixth installment in the series came out in 2016 on Mac and Windows PC platforms, and it continues to receive new content. The game was also released on iOS in 2017, Nintendo Switch in 2018, and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2019. As with earlier giveaways from Epic Games, users can claim their free copy game within the set period, and keep the game forever.
Civilization VI is a turn-based strategy game, in which the players compete against the computer to grow a civilisation from a small tribe to taking control of a whole planet. The game is based on four gameplay elements “eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate.” Basically you have to find cities, expand them, build military, develop technology, make governments and more.
Earlier this month, developer Firaxis Games announced a new season pass for Civilization 6 that will add eight new civilizations to the base game. The pass, available on all platforms except mobile, will cost $39.99. Six add-on packs are expected as part of the pass, the first of which will be released Thursday. It’s the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack, and it includes “leaders, buildings and units from each respective civilization, a new Apocalypse game mode, new City-States, Resources, and Natural Wonders,” according to a news release
