There are nine new leaders added into the mix with eight new civilizations. The addition of the Future Era is to show players how their world and civilizations can be affected by fossil fuels, overpopulation and the invention of new technologies such as carbon recapture and seasteading as the mainland becomes more inhospitable.
It also adds the World Congress, climate change scenarios and the Future Era. Gathering Storm is set to rock the foundations of Civ 6 by adding natural disasters, new wonders and a new victory method.
The Gathering Storm DLC releases for Civilization 6 this week which adds new leaders, events and some major changes to the world stage.
