People. Crowds of them, walking up escalators, flowing around giant blocks, climbing up walls, falling from platforms. Then fighting: thousands of figures forming battle lines, shooting into opposing masses. And then some form of ascent, as a stream of figures walks into a thin strip of blinding light. The trailer for Humanity (pictured), first shown at E3 2019, holds in today’s Covidlaced world a kind of strangeness – so many people, so close to each other – but that only amplifies its power. Its surreal representation of, well, humanity sits squarely in the uncanny as crowds flow together at such scale in stark environments, counterpointed by the plain details of their casual clothes and the brutal simplicity of their violence.
