Also pre-orders for Humankind launched today. Suggested price of the game was set at $59.99. You can pre-order it on Steam, Google Stadia and Epic Games Store with 15% discount ($50.99). For now, only Digital Deluxe edition is available in the stores, which includes, apart from the game, digital versions of the soundtrack composed by Arnaud Roy and a poster with technological trees and units, as well as Notre-Dame DLC package, which includes avatars (e.g. with Victor Hugo) and a cathedral with a special event to use during the game. After placing a pre-order, we will additionally receive a set of avatars with queen Boudica and unique symbols and decorations.
Humankind will launch exclusively on PC and Stadia. Google's platform offers the opton to test a special beta version of the game (the so-called OpenDev scenario) for free. It enables us to play 100 turns and lead the Nubians in ancient times or the nation of our choice in the so-called classic era.
