Humankind 2 Forces You To Deal With The Consequences Of Climate Change
Overview & Key Takeaways
Gamescom Opening Night Live has been dropping trailers for all manner of games, and if you're a fan of historical turn-based strategy games, then you can check out the first look at Humankind 2. Just like the first game, Humankind 2 tasks you with starting a civilization and guiding it through various eras by using diplomacy, military might, and new technologies to stay a step ahead of your rivals. Developer Amplitude Studios says that players can expect the core 4X experience to offer new ways to rewrite history.
According to the developer, Humankind 2 has incorporated feedback from 2021's Humankind to introduce new progression systems, features, enhanced visuals, a modernized user interface, and several other gameplay improvements. Cultural evolution is designed to be deeper, and in each new Era players reach, they can adopt a culture that expands and deepens their civilization's identity. This will, in turn, unlock exclusive customs through expanded cultural progression trees, creating distinct nations throughout the ages.
Of course, players can also stick to the history books when guiding their chosen culture, but new stories from around the world will make it very tempting to experience new scenarios. Amplitude Studios added that the climate will also play a major role, as changing weather systems will transform the strategic map over time. Not only will you need to adapt to climate change, but you'll also need to weigh short-term growth against consequences that may endure for generations.
Humankind 2 will launch for PC in 2027, and if you want to check out the first game, it's on sale for 90% off on Steam until September 8.
