Console Release Delayed Until Further Notice

We have to share some sad news with you today: We and our partner Aspyr Media have run into unexpected challenges in porting HUMANKIND™ to consoles, and have to delay the release on Playstation 4/5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S until further notice.


We know this will be frustrating for many of you, but we believe this delay is for the best, as we want to make sure to provide the best possible experience to console players. Unfortunately, we're not in a position to give a timeframe on a new release date right now, but we will update you all as soon as we can. In the meantime, anybody who has pre-purchased on digital storefronts will receive a refund where applicable in line with platform policy. 

 


Thank you for your understanding, 

The Amplitude Team

Same story as the infamous native Apple Silicon Mac version. And from that we have learned that "Delayed until further notice" means: Never and we will never speak about again and we will not answer any question about it.

I can't even wrap my head around how a game as deep and complex as Humankind can play on a controller. Amazing that you're able to crack this

Hope you guys can figure it out relatively easily, been looking forward to play this game with my girlfriend (one PC one Xbox lol.) worth the wait, my favorite 4X game by far of all time, it even competes with 7 Wonders the board game.

This was my first thought as well...

Yeah, I don't know how it would even work and even then, how efficiently one could move around selections... interested to see how (if?) it would function

I am disappointed of course, but still look forward to Humankind Console Edition.


Somewhat skeptical though.


Good luck.

It worked just fine with the Stadia controller. 


If you want to see how a complex mouse+keyboard UI can be made into an amazing controller experience, look no further than RimWorld. Stellaris on consoles handles pretty well with a controller too.

Hi community, it is not common for me to post. But I feel the need to support the console community.


Like many of us, I would like to finally have a version playable on the controller.


Following the failure of Humankind on Stadia, due to not really up-to-date updates.

The possibility of being able to access the game was a huge gift!


I wish I could have access to my taste of the best 4X game. You are doing an excellent job. Whether in terms of visuals, gameplay, historical correspondence, soundtrack, and more particularly on the expansion you just released. Everything is a masterpiece.


That's why I give you all my support for console development! We need it !


However I have a question?

Since your sad news of the delayed and undated release, would you be able to give information on the progress so far...


Waiting to hear from you ! Good luck ! And full of courage. My money is waiting for you lol.
