And you'll see there at the end of that headline, we honoured this news with the correct spelling of "civilisation". Ahem. At any rate, the Maori civilisation has been added to the forthcoming expansion for Civilization VI -- Gathering Storm.

The new content is set to release for the evergreen title on February 14, next year. It adds geology and climatology in an effort to create more pressing challenges for players, and to make the world feel more alive.

The second expansion to Civilization VI introduces an active planet where geology and climatology present unique new challenges. Chart a path to victory by developing new advanced technologies and engineering projects and negotiating with the global community in the World Congress on critical issues. The choices you make in the game will influence the world ecosystem and could impact the future of the entire planet. Natural disasters like floods, storms, and volcanoes can pillage or destroy your Improvements and Districts – but they may also refresh and enrich the lands after they pass.

In addition to news of the new civilisation, Firaxis has also released a video introducing us to the Maori leader Kupe, as well as Maori civilisation traits we can look forward to playing. Watch the new video embedded below.
