Humankind is a historical turn-based 4X strategy game that lets players blend cultures across different eras to shape an alternate timeline. Rather than committing to a single civilization, the series distinguishes itself by allowing you to mix and match cultural influences throughout your playthrough, essentially crafting historical what-ifs.

The announcement trailer drew some immediate attention for its use of AI-generated live-action footage, which developer Amplitude acknowledged.
