- Civilization VI received a new, free multiplayer game mode this week.
- Called Red Death, the game mode allows up to 12 players to compete for the last ship off of a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
- Red Death is available for free now to all Civilization VI players. Civilization VI is available for $28 at Amazon.
In Red Death, players choose from eight factions, each with their own distinct advantages. And they're definitely out there. Check out the trailer below:
The game mode was developed by Firaxis multiplayer engineering lead Bradley Olson as an April Fools joke for the Civilization VI team. After organizing a play session, Firaxis says, the team started rapidly iterating on the design, expanding units, coming up with a whole new art style to fit the post-apocalyptic setting.
