2K released the paid Bunbu Ryodo Collection DLC for Sid Meier's Civilization VII on June 24, 2026. Part 1 adds Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a leader, Heian Japan and Sengoku Japan as civilizations, and four wonders. Part 2, coming later, will add Yi Sun-sin and the Goryeo and Joseon civilizations. A free Update 1.4.1 also launched, adding Hot Seat multiplayer and system adjustments.
The Bunbu Ryodo Collection is split into two parts, with Part 1 available now and Part 2 scheduled for a later date. Part 1 introduces Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a leader with the Great Unifier ability, which boosts land unit damage against other civilizations but increases damage taken when defending, and the Kanpaku agenda, which affects relations based on land unit strength and culture. The civilizations Heian Japan and Sengoku Japan join alongside wonders Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace, Nachi Falls, Mireuksa, and Seongsan Ilchulbong. Part 2 will bring Yi Sun-sin as a leader and the Goryeo and Joseon civilizations. Separately, Update 1.4.1 adds Hot Seat multiplayer, allowing turn-based play on a single device, along with a refreshed Archipelago map and tweaks to Government, Happiness, and the Feast System.
