In the game, humanity travels through space to start a new life by colonising extraterrestrial planets.īeyond Earth is unique to the Civilization series: in contrast to the other Civilization games, apart from certain modes of Civilization II: Test of Time, which take place across the historical periods of human history, it takes place in the distant future. 8.4 Let's Play Civilization: Beyond Earth.
