Civilization 7 DLC roadmap: All confirmed expansions, free events, more

Sid Meier’s Civilization 7is finally set to drop on July 12, 2025, almost eight years after the last installment of the empire-building turn-based single-player strategy game was released. Of course, launch is only the beginning, with plenty of DLC on the way.

Given the franchise’s rich history of releasing giant expansions andadditional content years after launch, it’s no surprise that Civilization 7 has already revealed a roadmap of what players can expect to be added to the game post-launch.

CIV 7 post game roadmap

Announced in a“Dev Diary” postby Firaxis Games, Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 will have plenty of content released throughout 2025 to keep players busy even after grinding their way through the base game.

Thankfully, we won’t have to wait long for more content to drop in Civ 7. As the devs confirmed, the DLC roadmap begins its rollout in March and will continue through to “October 2025 and beyond.”
