Humankind is a turn-based strategy 4X video game by Amplitude Studios and published by Sega.

[3] During the game, the players gain resources for their civilization, similar to Endless Legend, which includes food, industry, gold, science, and influence; each of these can be spent to speed up production, advance technology, or as trade goods with other cultures.

Humankind also includes Fame, which is earned by feats within the game, for example, accumulating influence or gold, destroying units, being the first civilization to discover certain technologies or build world wonders.

[3] Humankind had been teased by Sega earlier in 2019, with the game formally announced during the August 2019 Gamescom.

[5][6] Amplitude held periods of open beta testing across late 2020 and early 2021, called "OpenDev" phases, giving players the opportunity to try limited scenarios and provide feedback for improving the game.

[8] During this time, Amplitude announced they would not include Denuvo digital rights management software in the game.

"[15] PC Gamer wrote that they enjoyed the process of watching civilizations grow, but that the gameplay was too numbers-focused and lacked the personality and narrative uniqueness of Amplitude's earlier works.
