The first DLC for Humankind has been announced. The Cultures of Africa DLC will add one new African culture per era along with new events and wonders of the world. Releasing on 20th January, it is available for pre-order at 10% discount.
The new cultures in order of the eras are the Bantu, Garamantes,Swahili, Maasai, Ethiopians and Nigerians.
Copy of the announcement post from Games2gether:
One of the toughest choices when working on Humankind was which cultures to include. We knew we would only be able to include 60 cultures in the game at release, but there are so many fascinating cultures across the globe and all of history to choose from! So even while we were working on the game, we already knew that we would want to come back after release and add more cultures.
Today, we are announcing the first DLC for Humankind, featuring six remarkable cultures from Africa (no, they are not all Merchant cultures):
So, who are the cultures included in the “Cultures of Africa” DLC?
The “Cultures of Africa” DLC will be available for $8.99/8.99€/£8.99 on Humankind.game, Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store, though you can already pre-order it for a 10% discount between now and January 20th!
We’re excited to hear your stories of these cultures in Humankind,

So, who are the cultures included in the “Cultures of Africa” DLC?
- Era 1 – Bantu (Expansionist): The Bantu expansion is a postulated series of major migrations of an original Ntu-speaking group from Central- West-Africa across much of sub-Saharan Africa.
- Era 2 – Garamantes (Agrarian): The Garamantes emerged as a major regional power in the mid-second century AD. Their growth and expansion rested on a complex and extensive qanat irrigation system (known as foggaras in Berber), which supported a strong agricultural economy and large population.
- Era 3 – Swahili (Merchant): The rise of the Swahili coast city-states can be largely attributed to the region's extensive participation in a trade network that spanned the Indian Ocean.
- Era 4 – Maasai (Agrarian): A fierce pastoralist people with a Nilotic (rather than Bantu or Swahili) language. For the Maasai, achieving warrior status meant single-handedly killing a lion with a spear.
- Era 5 – Ethiopians (Militarist): During the Scramble for Africa, Ethiopia and Liberia were the only two nations that preserved their sovereignty from long-term colonization by a European colonial power. By weaving the natural cliffs and ledges into the creation of their fortresses, Ethiopia was able to fend off most colonial forces.
- Era 6 – Nigerians (Agrarian): Nigeria unites a wide variety of cultures under the rule of one state. The variety of its terrain and the abundance of its hydraulic resources offer it significant agricultural possibilities and make it one of West Africa’s foremost producers.
- Lake Natron
- Mount Kilimandjaro
- Victoria Falls
- Zuma Rock
- The Great Mosque of Djenne
