Summary
- Some Civ 7 players already have access to some upcoming DLC.
- Crossroads of the World Part 2 is scheduled for release on March 25.
- The game’s developer has yet to comment on the situation.
Some Civilization VII players have been given access to some upcoming Civ 7 DLC three weeks before they should have. Unfortunately for those playing the game on PC, the mistake only seems to have affected console owners, with several PS5 owners taking to the internet to share their surprise about the accidental content drop.
Update 1.1.0 was only supposed to unlock Part 1 of the Crossroads of the Worlds DLC, which adds Ada Lovelace, Great Britain, and Carthage to Civilization VII, with Part 2 scheduled for release on March 25. However, rather than just the first part of the DLC, those who benefited from the blunder already have access to both parts.

Now that Civilizations and Leaders are separate, there are so many different iconic Leaders that could shine within Sid Meier’s Civilization 7.
Crossroads of the World Part 2 is Scheduled for Release on March 25
Part 2 of Crossroads of the World introduces Simon Bolivar and the Bulgaria and Nepal civs. Bulgaria is an Exploration Age civ, while Nepal is available in the Modern Age. Bolivar doesn’t have direct links to either, although he does have some affinity with Bulgaria due to his Militaristic tendencies. Both civs introduce new units and structures and have their own unique abilities.
As of the time of writing, developer Firaxis has yet to comment on the situation, so it’s unclear what will happen next. Some series fans are worried that they might try and patch the content out of the game, while others are hoping that they’ll roll out the DLC early for everybody in order to even the playing field. They’ll likely face some backlash whatever they do.
The initial response to Civilization 7 has been fairly mixed, with many players complaining that the game feels rushed and unfinished. The fact that this DLC was ready at least three weeks ahead of its intended launch date when there’s still so much to be done with the base version of the game is therefore not a great look, as has already been pointed out by some franchise fans.
It’s worth noting, though, that Civilization VII‘s 1.1.0 update does make a lot of positive changes and fixes many of the issues that players had with the game at launch. It also introduces some free content in the form of the Bermuda Triangle, bringing the total number of Natural Wonders in the base version of the game up to 13.
