Humankind lets players forge their path through history by starting out as one civilization, then moving to another as they hop to a different era.
A new OpenDev beta scenario is available on Stadia for the coming 7 days, giving players an early look at the game’s first 100 turns. Getting access to it only requires a Google account.
Everyone starts off as the Nubians in the Ancient Era, having a choice between 10 cultures when hopping to the second and final available era.
This scenario also features the first iteration of the game’s diplomacy feature. You can see Humankind in action in its latest trailer below.
