As Civilization VII gears up for release, it’s drawing comparisons to Amplitude's Humankind, especially with its new Age structure. Critics are buzzing about the similarities, but Firaxis claims their ideas came independently after Humankind launched. Amplitude’s co-founder, Romain de Waubert de Genlis, welcomes the comparisons, seeing them as a nod to their creativity. While Civilization boasts a massive following, Amplitude enjoys a loyal fanbase. Both studios respect each other's work, hinting at exciting new strategies in the genre. Fans can expect fresh twists and narrative challenges from both titles.
