If you were looking for the same tier of changes to the core gameplay as both major expansions, you will not find those here. While Civilization VI Gathering Storm and Rise and Fall brought a lot of great new drastic changes to the core game, the New Frontier Pass contents serve as enhancements and additions over that content. The short answer is, this DLC is a fantastic addition to the existing game and expansions, but I wouldn’t recommend it on its own. You’re probably wondering whether the New Frontier Pass is worth investing into or whether you’re better off waiting on a discount.
CIVILIZATION VI UPDATE DONWLOAD UPDATE
Following the launch of all of that content, Civilization VI on iOS has finally gotten the New Frontier Pass in one single package getting the iOS version up to speed with consoles alongside an update that promises cross platform cloud saves (which were already in the game before). These include the various civilization and scenario packs and the two major expansions, Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm. If you’ve been with Civilization VI on iOS from the start, you’ve likely been slowly grabbing the paid DLC and expansions. With the New Frontier Pass finally available through one in app purchase on iOS completing all the content for Civilization VI on the platform, I wanted to take a look at not just the new content, but also the state of the game on iPhone and iPad and that is what this review will focus on. If you’ve not played Civilization VI at all on iOS, read our initial iPad review here and my updated review with expansions and more here. It was confirmed that the DLC would come to mobile later on and it finally hit iOS last week alongside a big update to Civilization VI. Unlike earlier paid content, the New Frontier Pass would see six premium packs released featuring nine new leaders, eight civilizations, six new game modes, and more arrive over the course of a year or so across consoles and PC. Back in May 2020, 2K announced the New Frontier Pass for Civilization VI (Free) on all platforms.
