Historical strategy game Humankind has announced it’ll be available on Xbox Game Pass for PC alongside its regular PC and Stadia launch next week.
The game allows you to make your own civilization made up of aspects of 60 historical cultures you can mix and match from. This includes 129 different units and 93 technologies and promises a whopping 1,302,198 potentially unique civilizations to use. You’ll explore 10 different biomes with 45 different species of animals and lead your people from ancient times to the Modern Era, brokering and breaking diplomacies with other civs as you go.
You’ll be represented by your own customisable avatar too, with over 122 different costumes to pick from. They even react to your in-game choices with a meaty 10,000 voiced lines. There’ll be 150 potential narrative choices to make as leader too to make your civilization even more unique. On top of all this, you’ll also be able to play with up to 9 other civs in the game’s multiplayer mode.
Sega first revealed Humankind back at Gamescom in 2019. It had hoped to release in 2020 but was pushed back to this year. Development team Amplitude Studios previously were responsible for the Endless Space series, and have said that this was the game they had “always been dreaming to do.”
You can check out a new trailer for the game for yourself below. Humankind is set to launch on PC and Google Stadia on August 17 and will be available from launch via Xbox Game Pass.
