Civilization V Game of the Year Edition announced

by Alice O'Connor, Sep 14, 2011 7:00am PDT

With Sid Meier's Civilization V just about to celebrate its first birthday, publisher 2K has announced a Game of the Year Edition for Firaxis' historical strategy game. Boasting a whole host of downloadable content, it's slated to launch on September 27.

The GotY edition has a sticker price of $49.99, which is fairly respectable considering the included DLC comes to $37.44 by itself. Curiously, it doesn't pack all current Civ V DLC, only most of it. The recent Korea and Wonders of the Ancient World packs, which cost $7.49 together, are both excluded.

Here's exactly what's in the box:

Sid Meier's Civilization V (standalone game)
Civilization and Scenario Pack: The Mongols
Civilization Pack: Babylon
Cradle of Civilization Map Packs: Mesopotamia, Americas, Asia and Mediterranean
Double Civilization and Scenario Pack: Spain and Inca
Civilization and Scenario Pack: Polynesia
Civilization and Scenario Pack: Denmark - The Vikings
Explorer's Map Pack
Sid Meier's Civilization V digital soundtrack

Firaxis' strategy game is getting a Game of the Year edition packing most--but not all--of its DLC. It'll arrive on September 27, just after Civ V's first birthday.
