The first persona you can claim is the Emperor Persona. This is also the easier of the two personas to unlock. All you have to do is create a 2K account if you don’t have one already. Next, you’ll have to connect the 2K account to the platform where you intend to play the game. For instance, if you are on a PC, you will connect the 2K account with your Steam account.

Follow the steps mentioned below to connect the two accounts.

  • Step 1: Visit the 2K Games website.
  • Step 2: Create a new account if you don’t have one. Or, log into your existing account using the credentials.
  • Step 3: Go to the Connections menu after logging into the account. From here, choose your appropriate platform and link to it.

When Civilization 7 releases, you will have to log in with your 2K account. If you have followed the steps mentioned above, Napoleon’s Emperor Persona should already be unlocked.
