Today Sega and Amplitude released a brand new trailer of the upcoming 4X strategy game Humankind.
The trailer focuses on showcasing the diplomacy features in the game, which is definitely welcome since this tends to be a very weak spot in other popular 4X and strategy franchises.
The suite of tools at your disposal seems rather solid here, and you can take a look in the trailer below.
If you’re unfamiliar with Humankind, here’s an official description. You can also read my own preview.
“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.
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.”
If you’d like to learn more, you can check out a previous trailer and the original announcement from last year, another video of the series, the one that came before, and one on the music.
Humankind releases on Aug. 17, 2021 for PC.
