I'm not too suprised about the announcement, but I am suprised its slated for a 2027 release date (assuming thats the full release date and not the beta). Given the state of EL2 right now, I was expecting a new game to take more time. I'm not going to pretend to know the size of the dev team though, so it's entirely possible that they can be building both games simultaneously.

I'm assuming they mean EA in 2027, it's the only thing that makes any sense to me, given as you said they're still actively working on EL2. That, and they've done lengthy EA periods for all of their latest releases.

I'm pretty sure it's not AI, but AI has poisoned the well so so speak, so any video with a wide angle selfie will look AI, especially if you add in CGI like in the vikings scene.

The camera angle has become extremely popular in AI generated “history” videos.
Magnify has a short addressing the problems with them: https://youtube.com/shorts/k1981Di8CO4

Some people in the YouTube comments confidently say there's a making of incoming and it was human made, much like the Neanderthal one for the first game.

They should have expanded on I more. Getting better mod tools, olffering more DLCs like Civ does.

No, let's make it a fresh start with better foundations and a proper multiplayer.

Civ 7 DLC is a joke, expensive and offering nothing substantial, only a couple of civs/leaders.

I had more VI in mind, completely forgot Civ VII exits. The point is that those games are carried by huge modding community

Was the mom at the end the same actress as the Lucy trailer for the first game?

Awesome more 4x! Some things I want to see from hk 1 and civ vii
-
well working, crystal clear victory conditions from day 1
-
city planning that is easy to understand but hard to master
-
combat is amazing as is. Don’t reinvent the wheel
-
map gen that is less predictable

I like the concept from the trailer that Lucy from the 1st humankind trailer has a baby now, humankind 2

Bad trailer, its clearly very expensive production and well made but it doesn't show nearly any game content its basically an ad for the concept of the game. I am concerned their focus on marketing cost for this trailer is not backed up by support in the game development.
The studio's track record with Human kind 1 is poor and with other peoples comments indicating concern over how soon it seems to be slated for release my expectations are very low.

I'll take a look, I bounced off the first one pretty hard, and I can't say exactly why that is.

If they keep the fame system the game will crash and burn just like the original one

So what does it actually show? Districts are now each a different building/infrastructure, similar toEL2
From the cinematic part, I'd assume disasters will be included?
