Humankind Game - Official Website
Publisher Sega and developer Amplitude Studios announced historical turn-based strategy game Humankind for PC during the Gamescom 2019 Opening Night Live show. It will launch via Steam in 2020.

HOW FAR WILL YOU PUSH HUMANKIND?

HUMANKIND
is Amplitude Studios' magnum opus, a Historical Turn-Based Strategy game where YOU will re-write the entire narrative of humankind – a convergence of culture, history, and values that allows you to create a civilization that is as unique as you are.

One Million Civilizations

Create your own civilization by combining 60 historical cultures from the Bronze to the Modern Age.
Begin as Ancient Egypt, then evolve into the Romans, the Khmers, or perhaps the Vikings.
Each culture brings its own special gameplay layer, leading to near-endless outcomes.

What civilization will you shape?

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.

Will you be the one to leave the deepest mark on the world?

More than History, it is your Story


Face historical events, lead renowned figures of humankind, and make scientific breakthroughs.
Discover the natural wonders of the world or build the most remarkable creations of humankind.
Each game element is historically authentic. Combine them to build your own vision of the world.

How will you Change the Course of HUMANKIND?

A Tactical World


Show off your tactical skills by mastering terrain elevation with city-building and full tactical battles.
Keep one step ahead of other civilizations through trade and subtle diplomacy.
Call upon your allies to transform an epic battle into a full-scale eight-player world war!

What strategy will you mastermind?

These are just some of the amazing things you will be able to do in HUMANKIND.

I'm in day one for this.

Civ is my favourite addiction, but I'm very keen to see what Amplitude bring to the table.

I'm simultaneously happy, and a bit disappointed with this announcement.

Amplitude is a top notch developer, and their interactions with their community, and post-launch support, are awesome.
So, any new game of theirs is one I look forward to.

But, I'm a little disappointed that the game drops the shared universe that they have been developing, and instead uses the typical look and setting from most games in the genre.

Not to sound too negative. :)
It's still a day one purchase.

Create your leader. Share it with the world.

In Humankind, you will play as an avatar that you create, customize and lead to make the largest mark on history.

As you progress through Amplitude's brand new historical 4X strategy game, you'll combine cultures through six different eras to build a civilization as unique as you are. The journey matters more than the destination, and no great deed will go unnoticed.
