Civilization V expands again

2K Games and Firaxis have announced the first major expansion of Civilization V with Gods & Kings. And as the name implies religion is brought back into the fold with the expansion.

There will also be new civilisations, monsters, and quest, new units and buildings, changes to the combat, and Firaxis also promises improved diplomacy and espionage.

"Our team has a strong vision for bringing religion and espionage to Civilization V and the incomparable Civ community has expressed their enthusiasm for these features as well," said Sid Meier, director of creative development for Firaxis Games. "We're excited to deliver this robust expansion pack that will give players countless hours of new gameplay experiences and more reasons to take just one more turn."

Gods & Kings is set for release late this spring.
