News: Humankind puts you in charge to see how you chart the course for humanity, and you can do it “free” if you are a Game Pass PC member.

Humankind is set to launch next week from Amplitude Studios and Sega. Humankind will feature 60 different historical creatures you can combine to create a civilization as unique as you. With those 60 different cultures there are going to be over 1,000,000 different final combinations.

In Humankind you can expect 129 different units to be seen traversing 10 beautifully detailed biomes. Those biomes will play host to 45 different species of animals roaming the wilderness that you'll end up populating. Achievements and notable moments in history you reach by doing this will be highlighted by one of 700 unique illustrations.

As you grow your civilization and beeline through the 93 techs on offer, you'll be treated to a 13 ½ hour soundscape, featuring over 1300 sound files. This ambient noise will be punctuated by Arnaud Roy's 280 track, 520 minute soundtrack, performed by 63 individual musicians and 20 choir singers.

Your custom avatar, who will evolve with your civilization, will be able to choose from over 122 tailored costumes as they voice their approval or disapproval from over 10,000 voiced lines in-game. The choices you make in the 150 narrative events will further diversify you and your civilization from your competition, particularly in 10-person multiplayer.

In short, Humankind is a massive game and they have released a new video to help try to wrap your head around all of that. Humankind will be released on August 17th on PC and Google Stadia. It will also be a day one Xbox Game Pass for PC game as well. Check out the aforementioned video and then tell us what you think. Will you be playing Humankind?
