2K Games has blown the lid off Beyond the Sword, a second expansion for Civilization IV which is due to release in July.

Beyond the Sword focuses on time periods post the invention of gunpowder and features 12 scenarios that have been created by Firaxis and members of the Civ community. In addition, 16 new leaders, five new wonders, and a variety of new units are included.
