Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Rise and Fall is the first expansion pack released for Civilization VI. It was released on February 8, 2018.

According to the lead designer Anton Strenger:

The biggest, over-arching goal [of Rise & Fall]: dynamic empires. Civilizations will rise and fall through the course of the game (as you probably figured out from the title). Borders will ebb and flow. Cities will change their loyalties. As a secondary goal, Civilization VI: Rise and Fall includes more storytelling elements – Historic Moments – that highlight the interesting turning points in your civilizations. These events happen every time you play, making playthroughs unique, while also giving them meaning in the mechanics.

New content

Key features for Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Rise and Fall include:

Great Ages

Main article: Ages (Civ6)

As your civilization ebbs and flows, and you reach milestone Historic Moments, you will experience Dark Ages or Golden Ages, each providing specific challenges or bonuses based on your actions in-game. Rise triumphantly from a Dark Age, and your next Golden Age will be even stronger – a Heroic Age.

Loyalty

Main article: Loyalty (Civ6)

Cities now have individual Loyalty to your leadership – let it fall too low, and face the consequences of low yields, revolts, and the potential to lose your city to another civilization, or its own independence. But one civilization’s loss can be your gain as you inspire Loyalty among cities throughout the map and further expand your borders.

Governors

Main article: Governor (Civ6)

Recruit, appoint, and upgrade powerful characters with unique specialization bonuses and promotion trees to customize your cities, and reinforce Loyalty.

Enhanced Alliances

Main article: Diplomacy (Civ6) § Alliance

An enhanced alliances system allows players to form different types of alliances and build bonuses over time.

Emergencies

Main article: Emergency (Civ6)

When a civilization grows too powerful, other civilizations can join a pact against the threatening civilization and earn rewards, or penalties, when the Emergency ends.

Timeline

Main article: Timeline (Civ6)

Review your civilization’s history at any time with the new Timeline feature, a visual journey through the Historic Moments that you encountered on your path to victory.

New Leaders and Civs

Nine leaders and eight new civilizations are introduced. Each brings unique bonuses and gameplay, as well as a total of eight unique units, two unique buildings, four unique improvements, and two unique districts.
