2K and Firaxis Games announced today that Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World, the second expansion pack for Civilization V, is currently in development and will be released this summer.

Sid Meier’s Civilization V: Brave New World promises new depth and replayability through the introduction of international trade and a focus on culture and diplomacy. The player’s influence around the world will be impacted by creating a number of Great Works across a variety of crafts, choosing an ideology for their civilization, and proposing global resolutions in the new World Congress.

“After adding a number of great new features to Civilization V with the Gods & Kings expansion, the team continued to search for ways to create even more exciting gameplay through new systems and features,” said Sid Meier, director of creative development for Firaxis Games. “We’re happy to bring our fans another ambitious expansion that will provide hours and hours of new Civilization experiences."

Features of the new expansion pack include new Civilizations, Units and Buildings; New Culture Victory; World Congress; International Trade Routes; New Wonders; and New Game Scenarios.

Sid Meier’s Civilization V: Brave New World will be available for Windows-based PC and Mac this summer.
