Civilization V: Gods & Kings dev chat introduces the expansion's new civilizations

Civilization V's first expansion is out next week. Gods & Kings most notably introduces religion (gods), new civilizations (kings), and espionage (&?). I'm optimistic about the new systems, which you can read about in my recent hands-on preview , but for an overview of the new leaders and units, hop inside to watch Producer Dennis Shirk and Lead Designer Ed Beach talk to someone standing next to the camera.

Neither of them mentioned Sweden, which is madness. Gustavus Adolphus , I choose you!

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the rise of personal computers, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on the early PCs his parents brought home. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, Bushido Blade (yeah, he had Bleem!), and all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now. In 2006, Tyler wrote his first professional review of a videogame: Super Dragon Ball Z for the PS2. He thought it was OK. In 2011, he joined PC Gamer, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
