Civilization V: Gods & Kings out this June
Expansion pack for turn-based strategy title to feature return of religion and espionage.
2K Games has finally locked down a release date for the latest expansion pack for Civilization V. Civilization V: Gods & Kings will be available on shelves on June 19.
New additions include nine new leaders like Pacal the Great and William I. The expansion will also bring in new religion and espionage mechanics, as well as a reworked combat system and a more "educated" artificial intelligence. The game's naval component will also be split in two, allowing for both melee and ranged types.
According to Amazon's price listing, the expansion will retail for $29.99. For more information, check out GameSpot's hands-on preview.
