Unlike games like Civilization where you pick one faction at the very start and then stick with them, in Humankind you frequently morph from one culture to another, all depending on the sort of effects you're looking for. So in order to ensure things remain interesting, Amplitude have just announced the very first piece of DLC - Cultures of Africa.
As the name would imply, the Cultures of Africa DLC will bring with it six new cultures to choose from, as well as a variety of new events and wonders to further help spice up your campaigns. Here's a brief rundown of what each of the cultures are and what they will specialize in:

Even though it was announced two years ago, we've heard very little about Frontier Developments' upcoming Warhammer Age of Sigmar real-time strategy game since then. As such, it should come as little surprise to hear that they have now pushed its release date back to the latter part of 2023.
"This change will further improve the quality and longevity of the game, and overall make it more successful," explains the official trading update. I would love to tell you more, but I'm afraid that outside of the game being an "immersive and accessible" strategy game the details are pretty much nonexistent.

Best of all, not only will The Settlers be launching in a mere two months, but there is also a closed beta coming next week! The beta will feature two skirmish maps and two factions with which you will be able to either battle the AI or your fellow players in 1v1 and 2v2 game modes.

That last part isn't an exaggeration either, as the retro-futuristic The Anacrusis is set to launch into Early Access within the next hour!
As you might imagine given its roots, The Anacrusis is a heavily co-op focused experience that will have you fight against hordes upon hordes of enemies whilst the 'AI Driver' does its best to provide an ever-increasing challenge. Along the way you'll also be able to acquire a variety of new gear and upgrades to help spice things up, all of which will be randomly placed around to ensure no two runs are ever the same.

After about two years in Early Access, the space-based 'faffing about' simulator is now slowly getting ready for its big Update 1.0. Once it arrives at some point in Spring 2022, the official launch will bring with it the conclusion of Hardspace: Shipbreaker's storyline, as well as the long-awaited ability to save ships in progress.
Additionally, since one of Hardspace: Shipbreaker's major issues are the ever-present bugs, Update 1.0 will also bring with it "tons and tons of bug fixes, optimizations and stability improvements." And just for good measure, there will also be a variety of tweaks to the in-game progression in order to make players less impacted by the randomized salvage value and composition of ships.

As a small token of appreciation to veteran players, anyone who has purchased PUBG: Battlegrounds before this point will be granted a variety of cosmetic items, as well as the freshly unleashed Battlegrounds Plus upgrade. The latter offers a 100% experience boost, the ability join ranked matches and create custom games, along with a couple of extra cosmetic items and 1300 coins.
