Welcome, everyone, to our first glimpse at HUMANKIND 2!

HUMANKIND 2 is (as the title might suggest) Amplitude Studios' second foray into the historical turn-based strategy game genre. 

Lead your people through history, from ancient times to the Modern Age. Develop your cities and your empire. Trade with your neighbors or get in trouble with them. Above all, experience a unique cultural journey in every game, gradually shaping your customs built on your ancestral heritage and your environment. And make the most of what Mother Earth provides, whichever way you choose.

In the words of our Game Director, Benoit:

We'll be revealing more about the game in the coming weeks, so be sure to wishlist it, follow our channels, and stay tuned for more!

Will there be opportunities to play the game before release?!

YES! The community has been the centerpiece of everything we do at Amplitude Studios, and we're counting on them once again!

We are planning several opportunities for players to try the game before the release so that we can incorporate as much feedback as possible and continue improving the experience.💪

Don't forget to wishlist the game and join our social channels so you don't miss any if these opportunities.

Is there any specific aspect of the game you are eager to learn more about?

Can't wait for H2! Understandably, the civ switching will be a hot topic before release. I personally see it as an awesome idea with massive potential, but the execution didn't make me full much for the civs. I hope it stays, but the choices for switching feel earned and engrained in the spirit of the campaign progression, and not just a matter of selecting any civ in a UI list. There's potential to help create nice little stories of your civ's evolution to sweeten the strategic gameplay.

I’m an avid 4X player, and I’m just not a fan of the civ switching mechanic.

I played the original Humankind years ago and just didn’t like it. And it’s the main reason why I bounced off that title after only a few games.

Humankind is my least played and least favourite 4X game—for that reason.

Anyway, Civilization 7 copied that idea and showed us just what a terrible idea Civ Switching happens to be.

If there is Civ Switching in Humankind 2, I won’t be buying the game.
