The new closed beta for Humankind has improved and expanded the scope of previous playtests that Amplitude Studios has released. The added features of the Industrial Era go beyond anything Amplitude has showcased during any other OpenDev, and it’s clear that large-scale battles, new buildings, and new economy tools will really entice players to advance before hitting that 200-turn cap of the beta. Alongside these new in-game building features and economy, there will be a chance to engage in the biggest battles in the game yet, in which you can call upon long-range artillery bombardments and attacks from the sides to keep enemies at bay. Players can also take advantage of oil and coal to get their civilization’s economy booming. What the developer has added comprises the new Industrial era, which introduces ten new cultures, allowing players to build railways to transport goods and move troops quickly at a low cost. With the release of Humankind’s closed beta, players will have ample access to experience and playtest the new features and era added to the game.
