Rewrite the Course of History. Your Way.
Paris, France (25 August 2026) – During today’s gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, Amplitude Studios™ were thrilled to announce that HUMANKIND™ 2, the sequel to 2021’s critically acclaimed HUMANKIND, is releasing on PC in 2027.
HUMANKIND 2 is a historical turn-based strategy game in which every age transforms your civilization and the world around it. Found cities, develop technologies, forge alliances, command armies, and guide your people from their earliest settlements to the Modern Age. Building upon the core gameplay mechanics found in the first HUMANKIND game, Amplitude Studios’ sequel enhances the experiences with further ways to rewrite history in brand new ways.
HUMANKIND IS BORN AGAIN
HUMANKIND 2 evolves the franchise beyond its foundations, delivering a new take on historical strategy. Drawing on years of players’ feedback and Amplitude Studios’ 15 years of experience creating strategy games, the sequel introduces new progression systems, innovative features, enhanced visuals, a modernized UI, and gameplay improvements that come together to deliver the best HUMANKIND experience to date.
EMBRACE A NEW CULTURAL JOURNEY
Reimagined for HUMANKIND 2, cultural evolution becomes a deeper journey. With each new Era, players can adopt a culture that expands and deepens the identity of their civilization, unlocking exclusive customs through rich cultural progression trees. As these cultural influences combine, they create a civilization unlike any other, delivering unprecedented levels of personalization, consistency, and continuity throughout the ages.
Each evolution brings fresh opportunities to redefine your empire’s future: follow the historical path or diverge from it to create a story entirely your own. HUMANKIND 2 also introduces new stories from around the world, from the Saqqaq and the Etruscans to the Scythians and many more, creating a richer and more historically grounded world to explore.
HARNESS THE POWER OF NATURE
A changing climate transforms the strategic map across the ages. Adapt your cities and economy to shifting biomes, protect vital resources, and weigh short-term growth against consequences that may endure for generations.
