Not only full price $60, but also terrible regional pricing across the globe. I expected better.

Oh happy day! You have my support... and money! :-D

Only downside is, Stadia is region-exclusive and not working for me... well, one can not have everything, right?

Finally! I've waited this moment so badly Amplitude!

One thing I wanna ask u for is, let us enjoy the second OpenDev. Stadia isn't available in Asia so that our asian friends are actually taking disadvantage over other friends! 

Hope we can play it too :)

I guess it's because they don't give their second OpenDev service through Steam, but through Stadia. What u can purchase from Steam right now is just a pre-order version of Humankind game not the demo of it.

That is correct. The second OpenDev scenario is available through Stadia, not Steam.

At release, the game will of course be available on both platforms.

This is an awesome announcement @The-Cat-o-Nine-Tales ! So happy.


I DO have a question. It's really not clear to me in what way the pre-order and digital deluxe ED bonuses like Avatar, Decorations and Profile Symbols will be useable. Are these simply forum goodies, or will they actually be useable IN the game ? And if in the game, mostly useful in SP or in MP ?


Once again, very excited and can't wait for April to come ;-)

Will "Open Dev" ever be available through Steam again? Just "Stadia" is not available for Russia, where many are waiting for "Humankind".

Hi, and thank you for great news!


Please don't get me wrong - I am super excited about the game and will happily preorder it, but I also feel obligated to mention a few things:

1) What is it with Stadia-exclusive OpenDev? I mean come on, I hope they at least payed you well to deprive your loyal PC fans in favor of some lousy cloud gaming thing-y... But if not, please don't do it - Stadia might be okay in a case or two, but overall it is simply google's moneygrab which IMHO should be avoided.

2) Why do preorder on Epic Store and Steam cost the same? Isn't the whole point of having anything on EGS is to save some money on store comission? It would be nice and fair if you would pass at least some of these savings to customers - after all it is us who have to deal with that questionable store to make these savings possible...
3) Again, don't get me wrong - I am not a fan of Steam neither - GOG sounds like a better place for me, which is missing from the list - I hope only temprary?

That being said, I do wish you the best of luck, and looking forward to more information, playable content (beta maybe?) and great game in April 2021!

Is only the digital deluxe edition available as a pre-order or are the deluxe edition contents an added bonus as a pre-order? Is the base game going to be the same 60€ price when it launches and deluxe priced higher, or is the 60€ the deluxe price?
