Hey everybody,


You may remember that during our last Amplified, our whole community together unlocked several stretch goals, including a new Humankind persona of Dante, author of the Divine Comedy. After a long trip through no less than nine circles, he's ready to join your game!

Now, adding a persona wouldn't usually be worth a beta test, but while we were at it, our designers made some other tweaks that we'd like your feedback on. You can find all the details and let us know what you think in the dedicated beta thread.


If you want to see these changes in action, you can already try the beta for this patch through the update_preview branch on Steam.

Just go to the properties of the game, open the betas tab, and select the right branch.
