Overview
- Amplitude Studios announced HUMANKIND II and put a Steam page with trailer and wishlisting live on Tuesday, setting a 2027 PC release window.
- The game is a direct sequel to 2021's Humankind and keeps the turn-based, hex-grid 4X format that lets players mix and match cultural traits as they advance.
- Amplitude says the sequel adds new progression systems, higher-fidelity visuals, and a modernized user interface based on extensive player feedback.
- Each Era now lets players adopt cultures that grow via dedicated cultural progression trees, and the game will add new cultures such as the Saqqaq, Etruscans, and Scythians.
- A changing climate will alter biomes over time, forcing players to relocate or retool cities and economies and to weigh short-term growth against effects that can span generations.
