Overview

Note: There are three separate areas of the Civilization site that contain descriptions of the Leader Pass. Each one offers information regarding the Pass in varying degrees of detail. I've included all three for the sake of completeness.

From the Civilization site at this link - Civilization VI: Leader Pass

Return to rule with the Civilization VI: Leader Pass* and build the greatest empire in history with a huge roster of new and familiar faces. Throughout six DLC packs scheduled for release between November 2022 and March 2023**, we'll introduce 12 new leaders to the Steam, Epic, Mac App Store, and iOS versions of Civilization VI alongside six new takes on classic Civilization leaders. For PC, if you purchase Civilization VI Anthology (or purchase all of the content that's included in it separately at any time), you'll be eligible to receive the Leader Pass for no additional charge.

Expand your roster of historical leaders with the Civilization VI: Leader Pass. The Leader Pass introduces 18 new leader selections via six DLC packs scheduled for release between November 2022 and March 2023.

Will you ally with Barbarians as China's Qin Shi Huang the Unifier? Wage war as Arabia's Sultan Saladin? Usher in a golden age of culture as Mali's Sundiata Keita? With the Leader Pass, there are more options and obstacles on your road to building a great empire than ever before.

Looks like it's there

Hoo... The leak got everything right, and there's even more, with new Leader Personas!

Addendum: Evrything except Julius Caesar being here and Yongle being a Scenario Leader only.

Hoo... The leak got everything right, and there's even more, with new Leader Personas!

18 leaders, a lot more actually!

AND: The pass is FREE if you own all DLC or the Anthology pack!

It says the page doesn't exist.
Are you trolling?

No, but I am on mobile if that makes a difference? The YouTube clip is still private for me.

Looks like it's there, and the leak was mostly on the money. GN = Great Negotiators?

TRUE!!! Though now we're back to square one about what J means. :V

So, China will have 5 leaders...?

[The Kingmaker]

And it looks like Zhu Di/Yongle isn’t scenario only! Wow.

 

[Cyon]

So pack 1 of 6 is two leaders, one of them is Abe Lincoln which I will never play with, I hope the other one is more exciting. Release in November is nice though.

 

[Navelgazer]

Ok! November 21st! Mondays are an unusual day for new content, as far as I know, but still! Coming Monday!

 

[Casworon]

Gonna be honest. I've not touched CIv VI for a long time. What i am interested in more than leader's is the chance for some patches. Gonna keep my eyes pealed for patch notes before i decide to jump in and buy

 

[JNR13]

Really like the roster. Looks like the leak was close but not perfect. Which I like since a) it kept some surprises for us and b) I found it really odd to have no Arabian alt in it. Glad we're at least getting a reskin. Although now I'm a bit disappointed by Rome not getting a single alt leader when both China and England will end up with 5 leaders/personas.

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

While the trailer is somewhat underwhelming, the fact that it's free if you have all the present DLCs or the Anthology Bundle more than makes up for it.

 

[Zaarin]

Not a single in-game screenshot?

Anyway, have to admit Nader Shah might get me playing again. Never thought we'd ever see a post-Achaemenid leader of Persia. Would have preferred a Sassanid myself, but I'll take it. Also unironically pleased that we're presumably getting Cleopatra in Greek clothes. If you're going to choose a Ptolemy for Egypt, live with your choice. Have to ask, though, did we really need a persona pack for Victoria?

 

[Leucarum]

So LPGN is presumably Great Negotiators, but that just makes LPJ even more confusing...

 

[Cyon]

So what does Suliman, Saladin, Victoria mean? is it like rough rider teddy and normal teddy?

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

So what does Suliman, Saladin, Victoria mean? is it like rough rider teddy and normal teddy?

Yep. They now have Personas.

Although now I'm a bit disappointed by Rome not getting a single alt leader when both China and England will end up with 5 leaders/personas.

Huh, I missed that. That is a bit sad.
