Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings is an upcoming and first official expansion pack for the turn-based strategy video game Civilization V. It is currently expected to release on June 19 in North America and June 22 internationally. It will add both religion and espionage mechanics to the game as well as rework the combat and diplomacy features.

Gods and Kings is set to include 27 new units, 13 new buildings, 9 new wonders, and 9 new playable civilizations. A new religion mechanic featuring a "faith" resource will allow players to found their own religion which they can grow to a "world-spanning fully customized religion." Diplomacy has been reworked to include espionage, foreign embassies, and new types of city-states (religious and mercantile). City-states will also feature a new quest system and strategic importance. Additionally, the combat system has been re-worked to include smarter AI, an expanded early modern era, and enhanced naval combat featuring Great Admiral and melee naval units. Gods & Kings will add an additional fifty-two Steam achievements to Civilization V.
Three new scenarios will be included in the expansion: "Fall of Rome", focusing on the decline of the Roman Empire; "Into the Renaissance", focusing on religion in the Middle Ages into the Renaissance era; and "Empires of the Smoky Skies", a Victorian steampunk scenario.
