Canada comes with Mounties and hockey rinks in Civilization 6

Firaxis and 2K Games today detailed the Canadian faction coming to Civilization 6 Gathering Storm. The nation doesn’t disappoint, complete with Mounties and hockey rinks.

Hockey rinks, a staple of the Canadian landscape, will sadly be limited to one rink per city. While that may work in real-life when we’re talking about a town of 500 people (shoutout to Turtleford, Saskatchewan), my hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan — with a population of 250,000 — has 9 indoor rinks and more than 20 outdoor ones. We kind of love hockey.

Take a good look at both Canada and the recently announced Maori in new videos, below.

Civilization 6 Gathering Storm heads to Windows PC on 14 February 2019. We gave the game’s Switch version our strategy GOTY award.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
