Get your hands on Humankind

AmplitudeStudios' strategy gameHumankindis offering a playable peek at their vision for the next era of civilisation ‘em ups. The strategy romp has a new trailer out along with a free demo that you can play in your browser so you can decide for yourself if it’ll take the strategy crown. Sega announced today that they’re planningHumankind’s launch for sometime in April 2021.

First up is that new trailer. It’s full of giant folks running across miniature landscapes as they do in strategy games. But oh how pretty the landscapes are—forests and plateaus and waterfalls and all—along with some snowfall and sprawling cities throughout the eras. It is a trailer, so they’ve also pulled out some nice things folks have said about Humankind. Look, there’s our Nate calling it “rippling with potential”. You can catch the rest of his thoughts in hisHumankind preview.

You can give the game a go yourself, Sega say, thanks to a demo now upon Stadiafor anyone with a Google account. “This demo features two full eras to play through (100 turn limit) and features first iteration integration of the Diplomacy feature, which will be new to everyone,” they say. “Everyone will play through the first era as the Nubians and then for the classical era, you can choose from the ten available cultures for that era.” The demo is available from now until next Wednesday, October 28th.

Humankind will be available onSteam, Stadia, and the Epic Games Store in April 2021.
