2K Games and Firaxis Games announce two new packs of downloadable content for
Sid Meier's Civilization V to be released next Tuesday, adding new maps, units and scenarios to the turn-based strategy sequel. The first of these is The Denmark Civilization and Scenario Pack, which "brings you both the Denmark Civilization and the new Scenario, 1066: Year of Viking Destiny, to further enhance your Civilization V experience. Rule the world as Harald Bluetooth, with your powerful Berserker warriors and Ski Infantry!" They will also offer an Explorers Map Pack, described like so: "Ten fantastic single-player maps make up this Civilization V DLC pack designed by Firaxis Games. Five of the maps are based on real-world locations, chosen for their historical interest and gameplay possibilities. The remaining five are scripted map environments. These maps will change from game to game, but will focus on an exciting gameplay theme. From the arid Sandstorm to the lush Amazon, and from the Caribbean to the Bering Strait, these maps will give skillful Civilization V players new lands to conquer!"
