Toyotomi Hideyoshi appears in Sid Meier's Civilization VII as a playable leader for the first time in the mainline series. Firaxis Games announced the paid Bunbu Ryodo Collection DLC on June 16, 2026, with the first wave releasing the week of June 22. The DLC launched on June 24, 2026, as part of the Bunbu Ryodo Collection, which also includes Heian Japan and Sengoku Japan as civilizations and four wonders. A second wave, part of the same collection, will add Korean content later.
Hideyoshi's leader ability doubles damage dealt and received when land units attack enemy civilization units, a high-risk, high-reward combat trait. He also has cultural abilities tied to tea ceremony and performing arts. The DLC is also part of the larger 'Crossroads of the World' collection, which includes two civilizations and four wonders. A free Update 1.4.1 launched alongside the DLC, adding Hot Seat multiplayer and system adjustments.
