"Civ 7 Ghandi DLC Rumors Resurface"

Exciting news for fans of the Civilization series: the developers of Civilization VII have hinted that the iconic leader Gandhi might make a comeback, albeit possibly as downloadable content (DLC). This revelation comes from an engaging interview with Ed Beach, the lead designer of Civ VII, conducted by IGN on February 13, 2025. Beach expressed optimism about reintroducing past civilizations and their leaders, including the much-loved Gandhi.

There is Still Hope for Gandhi and Other Civ Leaders

In the interview, Beach delved into the reasons behind the absence of certain civilizations and leaders in the initial lineup of Civ VII. "So I would say we haven't forgotten about anybody who's been in our game before," Beach stated. He highlighted the challenges of selecting which civilizations to include, mentioning the notable absence of Great Britain and India. "There're just too many popular choices and we always want to have a few fresh ones that sound really new and exciting to people," he added, explaining that while some civilizations are left out initially, they are always considering how to bring them back into the fold.

Given the extensive history of DLC releases in Civilization VI, it's reasonable to anticipate that Gandhi will eventually appear in Civ VII. However, the precise timing of his return remains a mystery. Fans eager to see Gandhi back in action will need to stay tuned for further announcements from Firaxis Games.
