    After it came, saw and conquered the Nintendo Switch, Sid Meier's Civilization VI has set its sights on a new console. On November 22nd, the popular turn-based strategy game will make its way to Sony's PlayStation 4 console. Included in the package are two new civilizations exclusive to the PS4: Indonesia, Nubia and Khmer -- the latter two make up one faction. If you want to play Civ VI's excellent Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions, Firaxis plans to sell them as part of a separate expansion bundle.

    Even 'Civilization VI' is getting a battle royale mode

    Firaxis and 2K are taking an all-too-familiar approach to revitalizing a game: tack on a battle royale mode in a bid to capture the Fortnite crowd. They've released an update to Civilization VI that introduces Red Death, a 12-player competitive mode that grafts battle royale on to a strategy game that was definitely not designed for it. Instead of filling the shoes of a historical political leader, you play as one of numerous post-apocalyptic factions (no nuclear Gandhi, though) determined to get off the planet before a radioactive storm closes in and wipes you out. The basic mechanics remain intact, but your focus is clearly not on advancing society.
