Today Amplitude and Sega released a brand new trailer of the upcoming 4X strategy game Humankind.
This time around, we get to take a look at the late game, which tends to be a massive balancing problem for most 4X developers, with players that usually tend to become so powerful that they steamroll everything on the map.
Apparently, Humankind attempts to throw some curveballs your way, with technologies and weapon types that disrupt established concepts.
Of course, nuclear weapons are also part of the game, but unleashing your inner Gandhi may bring consequences.
You can check out the video below.
If you’re unfamiliar with Humankind, here’s an official description. You can also read my own preview.
“HUMANKIND is Amplitude Studios’ magnum opus, a Historical Turn-Based Strategy game where YOU will re-write the entire narrative of humankind – a convergence of culture, history, and values that allows you to create a civilization that is as unique as you are.
Create your own civilization by combining 60 historical cultures from the Bronze to the Modern Age.
Begin as Ancient Egypt, then evolve into the Romans, the Khmers, or perhaps the Vikings.
Each culture brings its own special gameplay layer, leading to near-endless outcomes.”

Humankind releases on Aug. 17, 2021 for PC.
