Celebrating 5 Years of Humankind: Past, Present, and Future

HUMANKIND™ · published 24 Aug 2026, 13:04 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

It has been just over five years since the release of our first historical strategy game, HUMANKIND™, and just over 7 since we first revealed it. Thanks to all of you who have been supporting us over the past years!

Some words from our Founder and CEO, Romain de Waubert de Genlis

Five years on, HUMANKIND demonstrates the power of collaboration between developers and players. We've learned enormously from our community throughout this journey, and their feedback has helped shape the game into what it is today. What makes this milestone especially meaningful is that HUMANKIND started as a dream project for the team. Seeing it grow, evolve, and find its audience over the past five years has been an incredible journey. This anniversary is both a celebration of the past and a commitment to the future. As a studio, we've never been more excited about what's ahead, with new experiences and initiatives already taking shape for HUMANKIND and beyond

The next chapter is just beginning, and we can't wait to share what's coming next with our players.

Let's take a quick look at the past 5 years:Many of you got to play the game before it released, and your feedback in that time and after has been invaluable to us. But the release was only the beginning, and we have since then improved the game with numerous updates and expanded it with some DLC. Over the course of 15 major updates, we overhauled multiple gameplay systems to improve your enjoyment of the game, from expanded interactions with Independent People, to a reworked resource and trade system, to greater variety in naval battles. We've also expanded the original roster with more cultures, for a total of 86 unique cultures from around the globe!


And something we say in the video...

WE ARE NOT DONE YET

See you very VERY Soon™!
