Sid Meier's Civilization V

Video game publisher 2K Games and developer Firaxis Games announce Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World, the second massive expansion pack for computer game Civilization V

This newly-revealed expansion provides enhanced depth and replayability through the introduction of international trade and a focus on culture and diplomacy.  Your influence around the world will be impacted by creating Great Works, choosing an ideology for your people and proposing global resolutions in the World Congress.  As you move through the ages of history you will make critical decisions that will impact your relationship with other civilizations.

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World also introduces nine new civilizations, eight new wonders, two new scenarios, four new gameplay systems and dozens of new units, buildings and improvements offering an expanded variety of ways to build the most powerful empire in the world.  In addition, the expansion adds a new culture victory condition, a world congress that emphasizes the importance of diplomacy and city-state alliances, international treaties, two new scenarios, and more.

"Civilization V: Brave New World continues the strong tradition of ambitious expansion packs that fans have come to expect from the Civilization franchise," said Sarah Anderson, senior vice president of marketing for 2K.  "Brave New World is destined to continue the strong Civilization lineage that already includes massive expansions such as Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword and Civilization V: Gods & Kings."

While this expansion has not yet been rated by the ESRB, it's scheduled for release in the Summer of 2013.  As with the game's previous expansion, Brave New World requires the core Civilization V game software in order to be played.
