Civilization 7 Reveals the 2 Personas of Ashoka

Firaxis Studios provided the first look at one of the leaders coming for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII.

Actually, it’s pretty much two leaders, or better, the two personas you can select for Ashoka. The World Renouncer persona is included in the base game, while the World Conqueror persona is from the Founders Content Pack DLC from the Founders Edition, also purchasable separately from those suffering from irresistible FOMO.

As you may imagine, the World Renouncer persona is more geared toward peace, while the World Conqueror persona is geared toward conquering. You can find a description of their kit on the official website.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is coming on February 11, 2025, for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
