Summary
Amplitude said the Humankind 2 announcement trailer was filmed at Nu Boyana Film Studios in Sofia with real actors, practical sets and custom-made props after online viewers questioned whether it was AI-generated.
PC Gamer said it reviewed behind-the-scenes photos showing actors on a sound stage with partial sets and blue-screen backdrops, supporting the studio's account of the live-action shoot.
The developer did not explicitly rule out all generative AI use in post-production or visual effects, and has not yet detailed how the trailer's tornado, nuclear blast and other surreal imagery were created.
Humankind 2 was unveiled at Gamescom Opening Night Live and is due on PC in 2027, with Amplitude promising new progression systems, enhanced visuals, a modernized UI and other gameplay improvements.
