Part one (early March) features Leader Ada Lovelace, four Natural Wonders, and the Carthage and Great Britain civilizations. Part two (late March) includes Leader Simon Bolivar and the Bulgaria and Nepal civilizations. Free content, including new Natural Wonder events and Wonders themselves (Battle event and Bermuda Triangle in early March; Marvelous Mountains event and Mount Everest in late March), will also launch in March.
Further paid DLC, the "Right Rule Collection," is slated for release this summer, adding two new leaders, four civilizations, and four New World Wonders. Free content and updates will continue throughout the spring and summer. Firaxis promises continued post-launch support from October 2025 onward. Specific release dates remain unannounced.

These features will be released "as soon as possible," according to the developers. The diary also emphasizes initial bug fixes, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements.
