Hey all! 



As we told you last week, we’re having a new Humankind OpenDev Scenario for everybody* who has pre-purchased the game on Steam! From now until December 28th at 16:00 CET, you can try the game out yourself and let us know what you think. 


At more than 100 turns, facing off against 7 other civilizations from the Neolithic to the end of the Early Modern Era, this is the biggest chunk of gameplay we’ve shared with you so far. And as always in OpenDev, we look forward to hearing your feedback about your experience with the game.



So how can you play the Humankind Lucy OpenDev? Just follow these simple steps: 

  1. Make sure that HUMANKIND™ is in your Steam library.
    1. If you have pre-purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition on Steam, it should be there already
    2. If you have purchased a Steam key from another retailer, you must Redeem the key on Steam first before proceeding to the next step
  2. Visit GAMES2GETHER
    1. If you already have an account, go ahead and login
    2. If you do not have an account, please create one
  3. Steam connect your G2G account on the rewards page here. If you have already connected your account in the past, you may need to re-sync
  4. Click on the “Lucy OpenDev” reward and hit Redeem.
  5. Go back to your Steam library, and Humankind – OpenDev should appear there automatically 

Note: During events like the OpenDev, Games2Gether often experiences periods of intense traffic. If you are having any issues redeeming rewards, syncing accounts, or logging in, then please try again a bit later.


While you wait for it to download, feel free to watch our quick Getting Started video before you dive in: 



In this OpenDev scenario, you will be playing as Lucy Adam, star of our recent trailer, but in the full game, you will get to customize your own avatar and share it with your friends. Not just their appearance, but their behavior as an AI opponent as well! You can learn more about that in our Feature Focus on it soon. We’ve also created some special avatars for some of our favorite twitch streamers that you can unlock as AI opponents to play against in Humankind by watching their streams. If you watch enough of their streams, or by other participating streamers, you can even get free access to the Lucy OpenDev!



Eager to get your hands on these cool Avatars or the Lucy OpenDev? Just follow these simple steps to prepare for the Twitch drops:

  1. Make sure you have a Twitch account
  2. Login to your Games2Gether Account (or create one if you need to)
  3. Go to your "Profile" page, and from there to your "Account Settings"
  4. On this page, you can see a button to Link your Twitch account.
  5. After you click this button, you will be prompted to log into twitch and confirm the link
  6. You should be set now. Go and enjoy some HUMANKIND™ streams!

You should get the Streamer Avatars after watching half an hour of their streams. For the LucyOpenDev, you'll have to show a bit more endurance, and watch a total of three hours across any of the participating streamers. Once you have watched enough to gain access, the Lucy OpenDev reward will appear in your Games2Gether Rewards page, and you can redeem it as described above.


We hope you'll have fun with the Lucy OpenDev!



* The Lucy OpenDev is available only in English and only on PC.

I already completed the Lucy OpenDev once and left my feedback in the in-game survey, but I still wanted to say how excited I am for future OpenDevs and the full release of Humankind. I have never had such a positive and enjoyable experience with a 4x until this (having played Civ4-6, ES2, EL, Stellaris). I thoroughly enjoyed the culture/era mechanic, outposts, and civics. The only problems I had during this OpenDev were freezes in the end-game, early naval units killing themselves in auto-explore, and outposts being permanently attached to cities (seems like there should be an option to grow it into its own city, even if that functionality is locked behind a tech or policy).

That was very exciting and cool. And the most cool is that the OpenDev have started on my a bit outdated PC (to my shame I was too immersed with a beautiful looks and had no time to complete all the 150 turns and survey (( ). Try to have a better one till April!

The only thing is the beginning looks a bit harsh (I guess, on the higher difficulty, the only option will be to run from any opposing tribe you see, because everyone is agressive and stronger than you are). Even the tribe respawning (which is a good deal) might help little. Am I the only one to think so?

Hey. The OpenDev period is over, sorry!

Can you make this clear in the steam store as well? There is nothing written down there, which indicates that the OpenDev is already over. The intructions to get access are still there. So I was trying to get access for the last 15 minutes and was confused why the reward didn't show up. A bit ennoying...

Hey all, 

As stated above in the blog post the Lucy OpenDev was a limited time scenario available until December 28th, for those who had pre-purchased the game. Any Twitch avatars you unlocked during that period you will still have upon release. There will also be other opportunities to try the game between now and the release :)

Thanks for your feedback and we'll try and make things clearer on the Steam page.

I can't get the Redeem option.  :(  I've refreshed several times and have the badge for Lucy OpenDev... but no reward.

The OpenDev was the best 4X experience I've had. The feeling of curating a need to go to war, for the payoff of greater rewards at the end, was reminiscient of some of my favourite Grand Strategy games; without the off-putting and overt complexity that would usually be expected.


I can't wait to play this is my friends in April, and hope that it turns out even more fun to play than the Lucy version was (which I was already all for).

Pareil je pensais que la beta était encore ouverte, finalement non... Bon rien de clair sur Steam ou sur ce site, l'information sur la limitation du 28 Décembre n'apparait que en tout petit... Bon l’expérience avec ce jeu commence mal... Pour un vieux qui a connu tous les Civi j'avoue que déjà l'idée de passer sur une autre plateforme était déjà un grand pas a faire, la déception n'est que d'autant plus grande...

I purchased the game within the stated window, I've done the steps and see a badge about getting the access to Lucy; however, I don't have access.  I've refreshed 3+ times and logged in/out here 3+ times.  It's been a few days as well. HELP!

I pre-purchased in November but missed the Lucy OpenDev. I'm really really excited to play and very (im)patiently waiting! Is there anyway to still get the Lucy or another demo? I'm dying to try it out and jealous watching all the videos.
