Rest assured we have lots more to show and talk about…”

Here is an overview of the game:

Enhance and Tokyo-based design studio tha ltd. gave a first glimpse at their unique, stylish new original title HUMANITY, coming to PlayStation®4 with optional PlayStation VR support in 2020, via Sony’s latest “State of Play” showcase today.

The short teaser trailer focuses on HUMANITY’s stark but iconic look, and use of massive crowds of individual people of all kinds, as they work together and fight against each other in various ways. Key features like controls, gameplay mechanics, and narrative elements are only hinted at, to be revealed next year in the lead up to launch.

HUMANITY is the evolution of a concept that founder Yugo Nakamura began developing three years ago at his company, tha ltd., a studio revered for their work with giant brands such as UNIQLO, MUJI, and the legendary Japanese musician Cornelius. Enhance joined the project in early 2018 to take on publishing duties, as well as contribute to level design and general gameplay consulting.
