In November of last year, Civilization VI arrived on the Nintendo Switch, and presumably, that went well enough that the decision was made to pursue the rest of the console market.  As such, the game is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 22nd of this year.  You'll finally be able to experience a nation's millenia-spanning story from the comfort of your couch!

Queen Seondeok leads the Koreans, whose primary focus appears to be research and also chopping down their foes with their unique unit, the bolt-firing Hwacha.

In Rise and Fall, alliances will offer allied players more choice as well as tangible benefits. In the expansion, players will choose whether it is a Research, Military, Economic, Cultural, or Religious alliance when an alliance is created. Each type has its own set of unique perks with these perks being powerful enough that players can only have one alliance of each type at a time; however, allied players can agree to change the type of their shared alliance after it has been made.

Lead by Amanitore, the Nubian kingdom's strategy will likely focus around its bonuses to early ranged units and city districts.  In particular, the combination of the Pitati Archer (their unique unit) and Ta-Seti (their unique ability) seems like it will inevitably lead to a horde of highly skilled, grizzled archers scouring the map in the game's first few centuries.

Speaking of which, the game will also be integrated with Steam Workshop, allowing players to easily browse and download community mods that pique their interest.  Finally, I have an easy way to change all the civilization leaders into characters from Katawa Shoujo!

When the title was announced earlier this year, we figured it would feature some kind of team multiplayer mode where you could enjoy some "comp stomping." Much to everyone's surprise, that feature is not included in the final product. Or, more accurately, it's not enabled. As PC Gamer reports, it seems most likely that Firaxis just wasn't able to get all the bugs out and have it ready to go by launch, given the fact that there are references to it within the game code itself. Some persistent fans did some digging and found the references within the code, and even found a way to turn it on.

Polygon has a more in-depth article on the title that dives into some of the bigger changes that are on the way, such as city improvements getting placed around your city rather than a button to click and units stacking to form new units. It's certainly worth a read if you're into the franchise and curious what impact these changes will mean. For folks curious about the co-op side of things, however, there's not too much to go on.
