It was a really complicated game to create, but we had a lot of fun making it, theorizing builds and merges, playtesting the most over-the-top unit merges (and the worst ones, too), and just generally messing around with it. I am excited for people to mess around and find out, too!” – Rami Ismail, Game Director

Discover a new vision of history, where cultures evolve, nature shapes strategy, and every decision leaves a lasting mark

Paris, France (15 October 2026) – Today, Amplitude Studios revealed the first gameplay trailer for HUMANKIND 2, its historical turn-based strategy game, offering players an early look at the systems and ideas driving the studio’s next major strategy title. Building on 15 years of experience and extensive community feedback, the team has reimagined key systems to give players greater freedom and more meaningful choices.

“With HUMANKIND 2, we want every choice to shape the identity of your civilization. Whether you evolve your culture, adapt to a new environment, build relationships, or take an unexpected path, the history you create should feel truly yours,” said Benoit Humbert, Game Director at Amplitude Studios.

The gameplay reveal is only the beginning, with more information coming in the weeks and months ahead.

WATCH THE HUMANKIND 2 GAMEPLAY REVEAL HERE:

Across the ages, all decision players make build upon what came before, affecting everything from the climate to the very culture of their people. Found cities, develop technologies, forge alliances, command armies, and guide your civilization from its earliest settlements to the Modern Age. Building on the core gameplay mechanics of the first HUMANKIND game and incorporating player feedback, Amplitude Studios’ sequel refreshes the experience with new systems and greater freedom to rewrite history.

Write your own history

The brand-new Historical Mode lets players relive, redefine, or change history on an authentic map of Earth. Developed in collaboration with more than 30 historians worldwide, it features cultures, places, and events grounded in historical research.

Each game begins with a First Tale, a founding myth that shapes the start of your journey. The gameplay reveal introduces the Flood Tamer Tale, associated with Ancient Egypt, as players establish their first settlements and progress through six distinct eras.

Discover more than 70 playable cultures

Egypt is one of the 70 playable cultures in HUMANKIND 2, ten more than in the original game, making it Amplitude Studios’ most diverse historical sandbox to date. Each culture has its own progression tree, with traits, customs, abilities, and bonuses that remain part of your civilization throughout the game.

Culture evolution is now entirely optional. Players can maintain a single cultural identity or evolve based on the choices they make through exploration, settlement, diplomacy, and adaptation.

Adapt to a living world

Each biome in HUMANKIND 2 offers unique resources, opportunities, and challenges. Where players settle will shape the growth of their cities and the development of their civilization.

The new Adaptation System allows civilizations to unlock traits and abilities shaped by their surroundings. Encounters with local populations can also provide new customs, knowledge, and technologies. For instance, Egyptian settlers who encounter the Thule people of Greenland can adopt sled dog units, gaining a unique advantage in both exploration and combat.

Nature is more than a backdrop. It can transform a civilization and create new strategic opportunities.

Forge alliances or prepare for war

Trade, diplomacy, and cooperation can bring prosperity, but war may sometimes be unavoidable.

Battles take place directly on the world map, combining the tactical foundations of the first game with a greater focus on positioning, terrain, army composition, and long-term planning.

From diplomacy to military expansion, every relationship can have lasting consequences.

We are reopening our Insiders Program

At Amplitude Studios, collaborating with our community has always been at the heart of how we make games. With the Insiders Program, we’re inviting players to experience early versions of the game, share feedback directly with the development team, and help shape its future. The feedback gathered throughout HUMANKIND’s post-launch journey helped lay the foundation for many of the ideas and improvements found in HUMANKIND 2.

To know more: Insiders Program

Players can wishlist HUMANKIND 2 now on Steam ahead of its PC release in 2027.

Slay hordes of Shadow Demons in an isometric hack-and-slash RPG featuring roguelike elements

SINGAPORE, October 15, 2026 | Solo developer Andrew Teo is proud to share a first look at his latest project, Shadow Rush. This isometric hack-and-slash RPG features a unique combat system that cycles through abilities, automatically attacking as you dash and slash through hordes of enemies. Taking cues from Diablo and Kingdom Hearts, with an art direction inspired by Final Fantasy’s Tetsuya Nomura, Teo is excited to build on the success of his first title, Ghostlore, and finally present Shadow Rush to the world.

All Gas, No Tedium

Shadow Rush is built on fast-paced combat, quick runs, build experimentation, and re-rolling characters. Controls are simple, but layered with a system that triggers special abilities each time your character attacks or dashes. Characters cycle through four abilities chosen via the equipment slots in your inventory. The goal of combat is to find a happy medium where players don’t have to juggle multiple hotkeys to pull off impressive combos, while still requiring active thought and a fast playing pace.

Rush on In

The game is called Shadow Rush, not Shadow Tread Carefully, for a reason. Health pickups are plenty, so players can focus on eliminating enemies as fast as they can without worrying about every little hit. In fact, if you take too long, a gigantic wave of darkness will swallow the entire arena. Just focus on clearing the area, then grab your completion bonus and move on to the next. 

Reroll and Rerun

Choose one of six characters for your run. Each character wields a different weapon, giving each a unique playstyle. On top of these weapons, you can layer on special abilities via Shards. You can easily equip, remove, or swap these collectibles between characters to build your Shard Deck and create perfect, infinitely replayable, game-breaking builds.

Gameplay Features:

• Four-Phase Combat Style: Every attack or dash automatically cycles through four distinct combat phases, triggering different assigned abilities and spells depending on the activated phase.
• Shard Customization: Spells and special abilities are equipped via collectible Shards, which can be slotted to create synergized, auto-triggering skills.
• Fast-paced Combat: Prioritize aggression over defense to force fast clears. Taking too long to beat an area results in a game over!
• Multi-Character Roster: Choose across six different character classes and progress through quick runs. Reroll and experiment with something new each time.

Shadow Rush will release in 2027. Players can wishlist or download a demo on its Steam page.

About Andrew Teo

Andrew Teo is an experienced Singaporean working in the games industry. Previously, Teo collaborated with IPs including Disney and One Piece and released Ghostlore. He is currently working on Shadow Rush and another unreleased project, Ruin and Rebirth.

Ink-wash artistry sets the scene for a new ARPG that’s full of haunting beauty and hidden wonders.

Hong Kong – 15th October 2026 – Developer Leap Studio, creators of artistic action-roguelite Realm of Ink, in collaboration with ConchShip Games, best known for The Scroll of Taiwu, announced today the launch of Realm of Taiwu into Early Access on PC.

Set in a tainted world where the gods have fallen silent and fiends known as Xiangshu run rampant, Realm of Taiwu sends players across shattered lands in search of hope in the depths of despair. Drawing inspiration from the eerie imagination of Chinese tales of the strange, Realm of Taiwu combines dark fantasy with ink-wash artistry to set the backdrop for fast-paced combat, exploration and crafting. Early Access introduces players to two maps: Bloodjade Abyss in which crimson ore veins pulse like arteries, and Tome Mound, where glyphs crawl across the ground. Every scene is an explorable ink-wash landscape, and every inch has a story to tell.

Watch the Early Access Launch Trailer for Realm of Taiwu here:

Realm of Taiwu is, at its core, a survivors-like action title that rewards players for combining combat styles to achieve the ultimate victory. At Early Access launch players will have a choice of six playable characters and nearly 30 skill sets, which will expand further throughout development. A plethora of options for solo players, but when teaming up in real-time online co-op with up to three other players, the opportunities for coordinated combat explode.

Every warrior, whether they favour melee, ranged or status attacks, needs equipment they can rely on. In Realm of Taiwu players can create weapons tailored to their combat style by breaking down surplus gear and reforging it to upgrade their favoured pieces for legendary equipment that will stay with them until their end.

“Today we’re welcoming players into the dark, fantasy world of Realm of Taiwu, where fast paced survivors-like combat and crafting meets ink-wash artistry and the eerie imagination of Chinese tales of the strange,” said Ningkun Dai, Founder and CEO at Leap Studio. “With so much choice in Realm of Taiwu, we’re looking forward to seeing how players choose to explore, and fight their way through the environments to uncover their secrets. This Early Access launch is just the beginning and we’re excited to continue this journey with players too.”

Key Features:

• A Haunting Dark Fantasy World: Beautifully sinister ink-wash landscapes inspired by Chinese tales of the strange.
• Survivors-like Combat – A range of combat styles across six playable characters and nearly 30 skill sets at Early Access launch.
• Build, Loot and Refine – Discover weapons, dismantle them, and reforge into upgrades for personalised builds.
• Turn the Conch-Vessel into a Home – Rescue Wanqu Folk and they’ll build a prosperous home, a beacon of hope in this ruined world.
• Face the Calamity Together – Different builds allow for tactical approaches in real-time online co-op with squads of up to four players..
• Co-op chaos – Playful in-run items will help or hinder friends as pranks and happy accidents are part of the adventure.
• Raise Spirit Attendants – Rescue and raise your own Spirit Attendants on the journey, each with a charm of their own.

Realm of Taiwu is available now in Early Access on PC.

The cozy feline-centric office adventure sees a slight delay to 2027.

[October 15, 2026] – Cat Secretary, originally set to launch November 4th, has been delayed until January 20th, 2027. The team at Good Story Guild wants to deliver the best experience possible for Cat Secretary’s 15-20 hour adventure. With this extra time, the team is continuing to add features, fix bugs, and incorporate feedback from those who have played the game’s free demo, and optimize the game for Steam Deck while avoiding crunch. 

Underneath a cozy layer of fur, Cat Secretary takes a strong anti AI stance within the game’s narrative. The charm of this story-rich adventure, and your time at DOX as the titular cat secretary becomes even more important now! The delay isn’t long enough to let the robots take over, but you’ll definitely need to be on your toe beans come January.

About Cat Secretary

• Do Your Day Job: Make the coffee, fix the router, bully the AI Smart Thermostat into submission, organize the Cafe snacks, and earn upgrades to create the corporate reception area of your dreams! Impress your colleagues and they might someday even become your friends….from work!
• Cozy Up the Place: Spend your hard-earned DOXBux on renovations, unlock expansions, purchase upgrades, and show off a level of creativity befitting the greatest entertainment conglomerate in the world!
• Explore An Open Office: When night rolls around, sneak past the AI security team and stalk the upper floors of DOX HQ! Complete quests to help your coworkers and save the soul of the company. 
• Positive Leadership Opportunities: You’ll need to wear many hats in this new corporate environment. Develop a variety of skills, reveal underhanded schemes, and network with surprising allies as you navigate unconventional corporate trials.
• Earn Your Promotion: Level up your bandwidth and master your core competencies to earn promotions! But be careful! The higher you climb, the more likely we’ll have to call the fire department to get you down from there.
• Save the Company: Generative AI and unsustainable growth are delivering maximum value to shareholders. But what about the heart and soul of DOX? Can one little cat save a company that has embraced innovation at any cost? Let’s circle back on that!

Unfortunately, the cat’s back in the bag for just a bit longer, but you can wishlist Cat Secretary now and give it a try with a fully playable demo available now. Every demo save will still transfer over into the full game at the new launch date.

About Good Story Guild

As writers, they sought to build something better by starting smaller. Elspeth and Rachel teamed up with pop-punk guitarist and startup veteran Kerrod Williams and feminist horror director Simone Kisiel. Together, they realized that the only way to combat the Content Kaiju would be by putting craft, compassion, and creativity first. Enter: Good Story Guild, a writer-founded studio focused on creating video games with dynamic stories, engaging visuals, and heart. It’s the cornerstone of everything we do. We like to think we’re the cure for the common content.
