As the Summer Game Fest is going strong with a number of world premieres and updates about our favorite games, a popular PC 4X game has been announced to be coming to consoles later this year. Humankind will be coming to Xbox and PlayStation consoles on November 4, 2022.
Humankind is a turn-based strategy 4X where players have to lead their civilization through six major eras of human civilization. Unlike games from the Civilization series, players don’t control a single civilization throughout the game. Instead, players select one of ten civilizations types within each of the eras, building a different template during every playthrough.
To date, Humankind has been listed as a PC exclusive. This will no longer be the case by the end of the year, as the game is coming to Xbox and PlayStation consoles in November. The console ports of Humankind are being developed by Aspyr, who also ported Sid Meier’s Civilization VI on various platforms.
“As big fans of Humankind, we’re ecstatic to partner with Sega and Amplitude to bring this amazing game to new audiences,” said Michael Blair, Senior Director of Business Development. “With our history in this space, we know that we’ll be able to deliver a deep strategy experience that really shines on consoles.”
Humankind will be available on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on November 4, 2022.
