As detailed on Civilization: Beyond Earth’s official Steam store page, pre-ordering the next addition to the Civilization franchise will grant you the “ Exoplanets Map Pack ” for free, which contains content based on real-life exoplanets discovered in our galaxy.
According to the Steam store page, the Exoplanets Map Pack includes six custom maps, each with specialized scripts that produce randomized geographic layouts each time you start a new game, which allows for more replayability on these new alien worlds.
All six exoplanets have been listed below, with the respective descriptions included.
Kepler 186f: This lush forest planet is one of the oldest known Earth-like planets.
Rigil Khantoris Bb: Orbiting the closest star to the solar system, the historical records of this arid continental planet’s settlement are well-preserved.
Tau Ceti d: This planet of seas and archipelagos features a booming biodiversity and a wealth of resources.
Mu Arae f: Tidally locked in orbit around a weak star, the southern hemisphere of this planet is a blistering desert where the sun never sets, while the northern hemisphere is perpetually in frozen darkness.
82 Eridani e: An alien world of scarce water and wracked by tectonic forces.
Eta Vulpeculae b: A mysterious new discovery with unknown terrain.
