HUMANITY News

Join us as we take you through the basic gameplay of Humanity, an action-puzzle game where you control a glowing Shiba Inu. You place commands on the ground for a giant marching horde of people to follow. Make them turn, jump, float through the air, swim, climb, etc., all to reach the goal (or goals) in each stage.

Hey everyone -

We are just 18 days away from the launch of Humanity. Soon (MAY 16, now known as HUMANI-TUESDAYYYY!!), you'll take control of the glowing, celestial Shiba Inu and bark orders at a plethora of people, guiding them to the light in Story Mode. Or play user-made stages. Or create your own. There's a lot to be excited about once this game is out in the wild.

On Wednesday, we released a Deep Dive video via the PlayStation YouTube channel (embedded below and all the game features shown apply to the Steam version), and previews of the game hit the press. If you've been looking for impressions on Humanity—now you can! Here are some links:

There's more to come in the run-up to launch and we hope you're as excited to see the stage creation and player community for Humanity grow as much as we are.

We appreciate your support!

We have a launch date! Humanity comes to Steam on May 16. Playable on desktop, laptop, Steam Deck, in VR—wherever you're playing your Steam library, we're there.

We wanted to announce Humanity’s launch date with a trailer that truly reflects the game: fun, a bit weird (in a good way!) and starring an adorable lil’ Shiba Inu. Oh, and importantly: clearly, undeniably Japanese.

What better way to do that than to recreate the wild—and brilliant—Japanese PlayStation ad campaigns of the PS1 and PS2 era? We’ve been incredibly flattered to hear Humanity compared to classics of this era like Intelligent Cube, Echochrome, and Devil Dice (among others), even Katamari Damacy and Parappa the Rapper – all fresh and unique designer-led games out of Japan that broke new ground and did it with style. And whether you share that nostalgia or not, or were even gaming back then, we hope you’ll enjoy that same spirit in Humanity: stylish and different, but with a deeply satisfying game at the core.

Please remember to wishlist the game if you haven't yet. And tell everyone you know!

The HUMANITY Demo period has ended. We wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who downloaded and played during its limited availability. We loved seeing everyone's reactions to the gameplay and are truly amazed by all the levels we saw submitted to User Stages. Hopefully you had a chance to play around with the Stage Creator tools, and maybe share a stage of your own or at least play some User Stages. If you did, thank you!

The full game releases in May 2023 so if you missed the demo or are just excited to play more HUMANITY, you won't have to wait long. Be sure to wishlist the game for news on a release date and more as we head toward launch.

We hosted a stream last week during the demo period where Ducky played levels the community had submitted to User Stages. If you missed out you can catch the replay either on our Store Page or embedded below.

We are in the final weekend of the HUMANITY Demo's availability. Just a quick note to say that If you haven't already played it, you only have until March 6 (12:01 am PT)! Download and play this small taste of what to look forward to in the full version. And of course, don't forget to wishlist HUMANITY so you'll know when the full game is available this May.

Thank you to everyone who has already tried out the demo. We have been so amazed by the reaction to the game and the creativity of everyone who has made and uploaded a stage using the Stage Creator. If you've already played through the demo, you should take some time out this weekend to hop into User Stages and play some of the creations that have been shared. Some truly astounding stuff in there!

Have a great weekend!
