Firaxis Games has released Update 1.1.0 for the 4X turn-based strategy game Sid Meier’s Civilization 7, which adds several UI improvements, the Bermuda Triangle natural wonder, balance passes to Mementos, and much more. The Civilization 7 community has been generally pleased with the update so far, but players still have several suggestions for the devs to tackle in future updates, including a reduction of disasters based on play speed and improvements to maps that some deem too dark.

Update 1.1.0 is the first major update for Civilization 7 and the patch notes highlight several issues and make improvements specifically for console players. Some of the main takeaways include balance quirks to the Modern Cultural Legacy Path for players chasing a Geographic Society victory, including the cost of Explorer Units increasing and the new ability to study Natural Wonders as Artifacts. Part 1 of the Crossroads of the World Collection welcomes new leader Ada Lovelace, who joins some of Civilization 7’s best Science Leaders, and the DLC also adds the Bermuda Triangle as a Natural Wonder for all players.

  • Refined Modern Cultural Legacy Path: Geographic Society
  • PC Updates
  • Crossroads of the World Collection Part 1
  • New Leader Ada Lovelace
  • New Great Britain Modern Age Civilization
  • New Carthage Antiquity Age Civilization
  • Four New Natural Wonders

Since Civilization 7 has a long list of beneficial Mementos, changes have been implemented to turn these features into more viable choices, as some previously overshadowed Leader and civ abilities. Additionally, PC players have a host of new features to become acquainted with, including Holy Cities that can now be converted, and several updates to the Modern Age Geographic Society like an increase to the number of Artifacts that are spawned on Tiny maps.

Civilization 7 has already released its content roadmap for 2025, giving players plenty to look forward to in the year ahead. After the Crossroads of the World DLC, Firaxis will release the Right to Rule Collection between April and September, which will add two new Leaders, four new Civs, and four World Wonders for free, alongside new events, challenges and updates. Additionally, the developer has teased more free content to come arriving in October and beyond.
