HUMANKIND Launches New Dev Diary Series Starting with Origins

Featuring never-before-seen gameplay footage and exclusive dev interviews.

Episode 1 – “Origins” is available now

Paris – HUMANKIND is Amplitude’s biggest and most ambitious game yet, and they are thrilled to finally be showing it to the world. To help with this process, they’ve decided to break down their beloved historical strategy game’s many cool, innovative features into bite-sized, accessible videos that they’ll be dropping on a bi-monthly basis on the Humankind YouTube channel. Each “feature reveal” video will include dev interviews, never-before-seen gameplay, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage.

Before they dive into the brand-new feature reveals, in this first installment, “Origins,” the developers are giving a birds-eye-view of the inspirations and ideas behind HUMANKIND and why it means so much to them as a studio.  You’ll be hearing from some of Amplitude’s founders, including studio head and creative director Romain de Waubert and narrative director Jeff Spock, as they take us through their mindset in creating this new and exciting project. 

There’s much more to come too — stay tuned for 2nd installment, where they’ll be getting into the innovative, fully-tactical HUMANKIND terrain, with its many different biomes, elevations and natural wonders.

Fame and victory await! What will your story be? 

More information on Humankind is available on the Humankind website as well as on Steam
