AmplitudeStudios today released the first proper paid DLC forHumankind, adding new African cultures. Perhaps more importantly than that, they released another patch. A Civilization-esque strategy game from the makers ofEndless SpaceandEndless Legendsounded great but some found it suffered issues with bugs, balance, and general polish. So sure, expanding the game with DLC, sure sure, tell me about making what’s already there better. Amplitude laid out some of their plans on that front, too.
