Civilization 6's New Frontier Pass expansion will receive its fifth major content update this Thursday, 28th January, and one of its most notable additions - alternate China and Mongolia leader Kublai Khan - has now been detailed more thoroughly in a new First Look video.

As it turns out, a much clearer set of details has now emerged, including the fact that the playable image in the video was based on a pre-release creature model.
"We could basically say the next generation version of Russian General Semen Semenenko," said AI designer Jeff Brown in the video. Well, ok then. Given how gameplay tweaks and expansions are often released in phases to ramp up excitement, you could see why Semen's retirement to a Siberian retirement village could be interpreted as a bit of a drag.
