Humankind Cultures of Oceania DLC Coming to PC Along With a Free Update Adding Caribbean Pirates, and More

mmorpg.com:

Fresh off its long-awaited console release last week, Humankind is getting a new DLC and a major new update for the PC version on September 11th. 

The Cultures of Oceania DLC will add six new cultures, six new wonders, and 15 new narrative events. The cultures on the way are Pama-Nyungan, Polynesians, Rapa Nui, Maori, Hawaiians, and New Zealanders, and we get a peek of them in the new DLC trailer. The new Wonders to discover are Aitutaki Lagoon, Bungle Bungle Range, Uluru, Whakaari Volcano, Royal Palace of Pape'ete, and Mauna Kea Observatory.

The DLC is now available for pre-order on Steam and the Epic Games Store at a pre-release discount. 

Also on the way for Humankind is a free update and new content. The Bonny Update will add the Caribbean Pirates as an additional new culture. This update also arrives on September 11th, though it is already on Steam as an opt-in beta for those who want to help test it out.

The Caribbean Pirates represent the first culture in Humankind that will forego their Emblematic Quarter and instead get a second Emblematic unit. Their first Emblematic Unit is the Buccaneer, and the second is the Sloop, a small and agile ship that could get in and out of conflicts quickly.

The rest of the Bonny Update is concerned with overhauls and improvements to naval warfare on the whole. Among the changes are Rebalancing ships, air units and missiles, and even reclassing ships. The update will also add three new generic ship types -  diesel submarines, destroyers, and frigates. A series of naval warfare updates mean naval units will return fire if they are attacked,  naval battlefield and deployment zones will now also be larger, and resource requirements will be reworked.  

Changes are pretty extensive, so
