Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide Launch Trailer

Is it bad that I chuckled at how appropriate "launch" is here?

2K Games have just released the first real (map packs don't count) DLC for Civilization: Beyond Earth and this trailer along with it. The new expansion will allow you to colonize the ocean, unlock and assign dynamic traits to leaders (both players and AI), two new world types, new diplomatic options as well as a few other improvements upon the base game.

If you're wanting to upgrade the new addon will cost you almost as much as the initial release at £24.99 for Rising Tide, so it might be worth holding out for the holiday sales later this year.

Check out the video above for a little back story behind the DLC and you can fork out your hard-earned cash monies on it here.
