Initially planned to be released next month, Sega have announced that Humankind will be delayed and now release in August, on the 17th to be exact. Chief Creative Officer & Studio Head, Romain de Waubert de Genlis released a few words about the delay.

“It’s been exciting to see the community get their hands on the game during the last few OpenDev sessions, and to hear all the positive (and constructive!) feedback. Players have always been at the heart of Amplitude's philosophy and releasing HUMANKIND in August will allow us the extra time to keep working with the community and polishing the game for an amazing day one experience.”

More details, including what little extras the team are going to include, can now be found on the games forums, which you can get to here. There was also a live stream that provided even more of a deep dive, if you want more.
