What if you could rewrite the entire narrative of human history? How would you change the course of Humankind? These are the questions at the center of Humankind.

In Humankind, you'll be combining different cultures as you progress through the eras to create a civilization that's as unique as you are. Your goal is to accumulate as much fame – or infamy -- as possible. The journey matters more than the destination, and no great deed will go unnoticed. 

"Like many other studios, we've been impacted by COVID-19. We're lucky to have been able to transition towards working from home thanks to SEGA's support. We've decided that to ensure that we give our community the best and most polished game, we will be releasing in 2021."

Community has always been at the heart of Amplitude: we've worked with our community to create every game that we've made so far, and Humankind will be no different! Rather than a classic early access, though, we've come up with a new twist on the formula that will help players give feedback in a meaningful and targeted way.

OpenDev is our new approach to community-driven game development. It allows players to join the dev team and help shape the game during its production.

Starting now, players can register for the chance to get access to 3 time-limited scenarios focusing on specific core features of the game (exploration, tactical battles, basic city management). Throughout the summer, scenarios will be released one at a time, and additional players will gain access with each new scenario drop. Any new access granted will include access to all the previous scenarios.

Each scenario concludes with a game design survey that will help our dev team level-up the game.

Registration (start on June 13th and end on June 26th) takes place through our unique game co-creation platform, Games2Gether, and participation is completely free!

Here's what you can expect the day you launch your first game of Humankind:

• One million civilizations– Create your own unique civilization by combining 60 different historical cultures from across the heritage of humanity. Begin as Ancient Egypt, then evolve into the Romans, the Khmers, or perhaps the Vikings—the choice is up to you. Each culture brings its own special gameplay layer, leading to near-endless outcomes.
• More than history, it's your story - Face real historical events and figures, make great scientific discoveries, and visit the wonders of the world. Shape your people's beliefs and confront other players. Every decision you make adds a flourish to your story.
• In the eyes of posterity– The journey matters more than destination. Fame is a new and unifying victory condition. Every great deed you accomplish, every moral choice you make, every battle won will build your fame and leave a lasting impact on the world. The player with the most fame will win the game.
• A tactical world – Show off your tactical skills by mastering terrain elevation, city-building, full tactical battles and warfare. Choose the high ground for your city, and it will be harder to siege. Deploy your archers in the woods to avoid stampeding horsemen. Call upon your allies to help you in times of need and transform an epic battle into a full-scale multiplayer world war!

Humankind will release for PC/Mac in 2021.
