HUMANKIND What's your story? - Custom Leader Reveal

Since we announced Humankind at Gamescom this year, we’ve seen you ask many questions and speculate about how the game will work, showing us that you are all as excited about this game as we are!


Several of the questions that kept coming up struck a similar chord: How is diplomacy going to work? How are we going to recognize other empires if there might not be historical leaders?


We’re thrilled to finally answer this questions!

In Humankind, you will be playing as yourself. Create your own personal avatar that will develop as you play, and share it with the world. Humankind is about history, but it is also about your story.


While our goal with Humankind is to make a in which all parts feel historically authentic, we had a little fun with this trailer and went a little wacky to present you the avatars. Hope you'll have fun watching the trailer!




Are you excited to lead your people through history as yourself?

Tell us what you think!

That looks really cool!


So we will be able to play dress up while we are advancing through the ages?

I liked this feature in CIV:BE, you could see your own avatar change with your tech choices.


One question: Will the AI have set characters or will they be randomized? With set characters you could also have set personalities and they would be memorable and to some degree predictable. On the other hand having everything randomized would really improve the replayability.

Hm... any chance that avatar customization could be made available as a sort of demo? even if limited. Kinda like the XCOM 2 propagada center.

I like the direction this is taking. The humour is nice and I'm loving the fact you choose nice gameplay mechanics over "realism" and "accuracy". It looks like Humankind is going to be a very fun game and I'm looking forward to it. Blue-haired generals of the world get ready...to test the neighbour's greener grass!

12 samasa infantry of the 10 neighbors of the centaurs. 


Great video, creative. Thanks! Only does the phrase - we have something to learn from them-mean how to take over an Empire and assimilate technology, or have these empires come together? hmm...

I dont like this presentation. It's too soft. Looks like a trailer for the Sims...

I think most players want more testosterone and aggressivity dudes.

The leader portraits shown at the end of the trailer look a bit blue overall. They really don't look that healthy with the weird skin colour. Is there any chance the colours might change or have a wider variety?

great looking forward to play this!
by creating our own avatar is it just the looks or there is more to it?

Probably you can set your avatar with some main characteristic like mafia type or, militaristic or spiritual-type
