After the reveal of the seafaring Maori earlier this month, Firaxis has unveiled the latest nation to make its way into Civilization VI: Canada. And it wouldn't be Canada if the country's favourite sport wasn't replicated in-game somehow.

Australians have found their pride of place within the Civilization universe, so it's only right that New Zealand gets a bit of representation too. And starting with the release of Civilization VI's Gathering Storm expansion next year, they will.

Today, Civilisation VI comes to Switch, which means two important things. One is that you can now play an incredible strategy game anywhere you'd like. The second is that Gandhi now qualifies for Smash.

The Nintendo Switch continues to be a powerhouse console for ports. From Final Fantasy to Katamari Damacy, here’s all of the new ports that we announced during tonight’s Nintendo Direct.

Every big video game publisher plans out their marketing announcements meticulously, juggling dozens of bureaucratic balls every time it’s time for a new trailer or press release. When something interrupts those plans — like, say, Nintendo postponing a planned Nintendo Direct — weird things can happen.

Like three oddly-delivered Switch announcements including Final Fantasy 15 (Pocket Edition) and Civilization 6.

Last month, dadabouin went and did something I've never seen accomplished in Civilisation VI before: he built 34 wonders in the one city, arranged in a way that has me thankful Civ VI doesn't have Independence Day's landmark-destroying aliens in its faction lineup.

Civilization 6's Spring Update (the game likes to do things in American seasons) is now live, and while many of the changes it brings are just tweaks to various dials and figures, there are a few welcome new additions in there as well.

Religion has been a powerful motivating force throughout human history, but some Civilization 6 AIs are a little too into religion, at the expense of, well, pretty much everything else. It's a real bug, and it's all because of a typo.

It took Civilization V two full expansions to become the classic it's regarded as today. Civilization VI is halfway there.

Samuel Whitehead is an artist at Firaxis, and has worked on games such as X-Com 2, Star Citizen and Civilization 6.

Hahahah, a $US60 ($78) iPad game, in 2017, would you get a look at that. Only in this case, it's not as insane as it sounds.

Another of my favourite Civ 5 factions will be returning to Civ 6 next year, with the Dutch accidentally revealed a little early on local TV.

One of the new factions coming to Civ 6 alongside the big new expansion will be Korea, a welcome return since they were so cool in Civ 5.

Borders will shift, cities will change loyalties and empires will rise or fall. The first expansion for Civilization 6, aptly titled Civilization 6: Rise and Fall will be released on February 8, 2018.

After skipping Civ V, the Khmer are returning to the series in an update for Civilization VI.

It's been almost a year since Civ VI was released, and in that time Firaxis has been trying to address some of the issues fans have had with the enormous and otherwise excellent game. The upcoming Fall Update continues this process.

There's a long history of Civilization board games, from a 1980 title that kinda inspired the video game series to a number of versions (in 2002 and 2010) that have in turn been based on the video games. We can now add one more to the list, this time based loosely on Civilization VI.

Alongside the release of Nubia, Civilization 6 has a "Summer Update" that makes a number of surprisingly major changes to the game.

There are few more difficult ways to win Civilization 6 than to score a Culture victory (which is kinda busted) on the game's hardest difficulty setting. Hats off to Tater596, then, for not only pulling it off, but managing to do so without going to war.
