Just in time to celebrate one year of Civilization VII, fan-favorite leader Gilgamesh has joined the base game's roster! This free* addition for all Civ VII players also includes a free anniversary profile badge, banner, and title, and once you've downloaded Update 1.3.2, this content will automatically be available in-game with no extra steps.

Whether he was your favorite ally in Civ VI or if you've never met the legendary demigod of Uruk face-to-face, Gilgamesh is remembered best for his prowess in battle. In Civ VII, his emphasis on Endeavors helps him maximize their value with Allies. If you're playing as Gilgamesh, make sure you form those alliances quickly, and if you're not, becoming his Ally first may benefit you greatly.
