Today 2K announced the second expansion for Civilization IV, Beyond the Sword, will be released the week of July 23 in the U.S. The rest of the civilized world will move Beyond the Sword at the end of July. The pack will be the largest expansion in the history of the Civilization franchise.
Beyond the Sword delivers 12 new scenarios created by both the development team at Firaxis Games and members of the Civilization fan community. The Civilization IV world, one of the best-reviewed strategy games on IGN (9.4), will be expanded to include 10 new civilizations, 16 new leaders, five new wonders, and a slew of new units.
Civilization IV's first expansion, Warlords, was released last summer and received an 8.4 from IGN.

It already exists: civ world on fb ;)
