It brings the Ethiopia civilization, new leader Menelik II, a new district for diplomacy, and a new game mode, Secret Societies, that throws eldritch cultists and vampires, among other slightly off-putting additions, into the mix.Ĭivilization VI first launched back in 2016, bringing fresh perspective to a reliable formula. The free weekend coincides with the launch of the Ethiopia Pack, the latest content rollout in the 4X game‘s season pass.
