Gamescom 2019: Amplitude Studios & Sega Announce Humankind

Tracking back to the potential rumored that spawned yesterday regarding Sega’s announcement for today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live presentation, users claimed to have discovered that the reveal will be a remake for 2010’s Yakuza 3. However, that ended up not being the big news from the Japanese publisher as we instead were greeted with Humankind.

Announced by French developer Amplitude Studios and publisher Sega, this new real-time strategy war title ranks different from other games in the genre by offering a civilization creator which will forge your very own settlement which you will then use to march on through to the Modern Age.

Highlighting on the “real-time” aspect, rather than using your created civilization to generate your own fictional war, Humankind will bring your own group to wars that have already occurred from the ties before. “Face real historical events, lead renown figures, and make scientific breakthroughs. Discover the natural wonders of the world or build the remarkable creations of humankind.”

On the game’s official website, it is specified that those who register for the title’s newsletter will also be rewarded with special in-game items that Amplitude Studios will reveal at a later date. If interested on the free goodies, head here to sign-up for your rewards.
