Humankind is the highly anticipated historical turn-based strategy game coming from Amplitude Studios, creator of the rather excellent strategy games Endless Space and Endless Legend. It’s being published by SEGA and represents a new take on the 4X game genre. It’s got Firaxis’ Civilization in its sight and is coming for the crown. As of right now, we know when the war will begin.

After announcing an April release window a few months ago, Sega has confirmed that the Humankind release date is now set for April 22, 2021. The studio’s not taking any prisoners, as Humankind will be available not only on PC and Mac, across all your potential platforms of choice: Steam, the Epic Games Store, and even Google Stadia, all from day one.

A new Game Awards trailer has revealed that the next OpenDev scenario – a series of betas open to pre-orderers – will be the biggest yet. This one will let you play through 150 turns or four gameplay eras, whichever comes first, and choose to play as one of ten different cultures. The scenario will be available from December 15 until December 28.

Pre-purchasing the game, regardless of format, will net you a ‘Boudicca Avatar set’ which allows you to customise your in-game avatar with a theme reminiscent of the legendary British warrior-queen, as well as player profile decoration and symbol sets to make everything look pretty. We’re not really sure on the significance of these, but hey, free stuff.
