Civilization 7: How to Unlock Napoleon

Players will be able to get Napoleon Bonaparte upon launch, as well as two of his personas, and all it takes is for you to create and link a 2K Account. We have made a guide explaining how to unlock the leader and his personas. Whether you're still deciding whether to pre-order the game, we hope you find this step-by-step guide helpful in claiming your future rewards.

How to Get Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor Persona

Napoleon's Emperor persona is one of the easiest to unlock in Civ 7, and it's accessible to all players, including those new to Sid Meier's Civilization series. All you have to do is create a 2K account, then link it to the platform you intend to play the game on.

• Log into your 2K account or sign up for a new one through the 2K Portal website
• Visit the Connections menu and connect it to whichever platform you might use to play Civilization 7
• Once the game releases, open it and log into the same 2K account to claim the Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor Persona

How to Get Napoleon Bonaparte Revolutionary Persona

In contrast to the Emperor persona, Napoleon Bonaparte's Revolutionary persona is exclusive to players who have access to Civilization 6. 

• Open your Civilization 6 and log in with your 2K account
• Once Civilization 7 releases, you need to log in to the game using the same 2K account
