Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Gathering Storm is the second official expansion pack for the turn-based strategy video game Civilization VI from Firaxis Games, released 2KGames. It was released on February 14, 2019 for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux. In Gathering Storm, the world around you is more alive than ever before. In the game, you chart a path to victory for your people by developing new advanced technologies and engineering projects and negotiating with the global community in the World Congress on critical issues. Civilization VI: Gathering Storm introduces eight new civilizations and nine new leaders. Seven new world wonders can be constructed, as well as a variety of new units, districts, buildings, and improvements.
In this episode Geoff Knorr takes us on a deep dive into the development of the thematic music he wrote for two of the eight civilizations introduced into the world of Civilization VI: his music for the Ottoman Empire and his music for the Maori people of New Zealand. But before this, Knorr shares some crucial details about the expansion and some of the overall goals for the music of Gathering Storm, including the epic opening cinematic.
