Gandhi's Fate in Civilization 7: Firaxis Offers Glimmer of Hope

Civilization 7's release has sparked a common question among veteran players: where's Gandhi? A staple of the series since 1991, his absence is noticeable. This isn't an oversight, according to Civilization 7 lead designer Ed Beach. He assures fans that Gandhi's inclusion is planned, likely as DLC.

Beach explains that the initial Civilization 7 roster involved strategic choices. Some iconic civilizations, like Great Britain, were omitted initially, similar to Mongolia and Persia's absences in previous installments. The team prioritizes a mix of established and fresh civilizations, leading to some omissions in the base game. However, a broader roadmap includes plans for adding previously featured leaders and civilizations like Gandhi.

This confirms that Gandhi's return is likely, albeit not immediately.
