Sid Meier's Civilization VII has received paid DLC adding Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a leader and two Japanese civilizations, with more Korean content promised in a second wave.
Firaxis Games announced the paid downloadable content 'Bunbu Ryodo Collection' for Sid Meier's Civilization VII on June 16, 2026. The first wave, released on June 24, adds Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a playable leader, Heian Japan and Sengoku Japan as civilizations, and four wonders. Hideyoshi's leader ability doubles damage dealt and received when land units attack enemy civilization units, and he has cultural abilities tied to tea ceremony and performing arts. The DLC marks the first time Toyotomi Hideyoshi appears as a leader in the mainline Civilization series, continuing the franchise's pattern of featuring a different Japanese historical figure each numbered entry.
The Bunbu Ryodo Collection is structured in two parts. Part 1 includes the Japanese content and four wonders. Part 2, coming later, will add Yi Sun-sin and the Goryeo and Joseon civilizations. A free Update 1.4.1 also launched on June 24, adding Hot Seat multiplayer and system adjustments. The DLC is part of a paid collection called 'Crossroads of the World,' which includes two civilizations and four wonders.
