At the 2020 Game Awards, Amplitude Studios announced that they will be holding another GameDev scenario, this time dubbed “Lucy”, for those folks that have placed faith in Humankind (the game) with their wallets and have preordered it.
We, of course, will have video and written/podcast coverage of it, but in the meantime, here’s what Amplitude has to say:
Since our first OpenDev back in August, one of the most common questions we’ve been seeing has been: Will there be another OpenDev?
The short answer is Yes.
For the long answer, check out our awesome new trailer and all the details below:
Wait a minute… What was that at the end of the trailer? That’s right, we have narrowed down the release date to April 22nd, 2021 on Steam, Stadia, and the Epic Game Store!
“But that’s still a long time off!” we hear you say. Don’t worry, we’ve got something to tide you over until the end of the year. From December 15th at 16:00 CET (10:00 EST, 7:00 PST) to December 28th at 16:00 CET, anybody who has pre-purchased Humankind on Steam can try out the new (English language only) Lucy OpenDev.
This is the biggest OpenDev scenario we have released yet: four full eras and seven AI opponents! Lead your people for more than 100 turns from the Neolithic to the end of the Early Modern Era and try any of the forty different cultures in these eras. Ten thousand potential combinations should keep even the most dedicated of our players busy for a while!
We’re going to reach out to our friends at Amplitude to see if we can secure a key or two for our audience, but while you wait, head over here to learn more about Humankind’s next OpenDev scenario!
