The developers of Civilization 7 have sparked excitement among fans by hinting at the potential return of Gandhi as a downloadable content (DLC) leader. Dive deeper into why Firaxis Games opted to exclude Gandhi from the initial lineup of leaders in Civ 7!
Civ 7 Devs Consider Reintroducing Past Civilizations and Their Leaders
Hope remains alive for fans eagerly awaiting Gandhi's return to Civilization 7. In an insightful interview with IGN on February 13, 2025, Civ 7's lead designer, Ed Beach, shed light on the possibility of Gandhi's reintroduction through future DLC.
During the IGN interview, Beach elaborated on the absence of previous civilizations and their leaders in Civ 7. "We haven't forgotten about anyone who's been in our game before," Beach stated. "There's a lot of discussion right now about the absence of Great Britain or England, and why they aren't included in our game."
Firaxis Games' decision to exclude Britain and India from Civ 7 stemmed from the need to make room for new and exciting civilizations. "There are just too many popular choices, and we always want to introduce a few fresh ones that excite people," Beach explained. "So, some civilizations are left out, but we're always considering the bigger picture when deciding which leaders or civilizations to bring back. There's still hope for Gandhi."
Given the extensive list of DLCs that enriched Civilization 6, it's reasonable to expect that Gandhi will eventually join Civ 7. However, the precise timeline for his return has yet to be determined.
