[Not Massive] Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey Released


Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is one of the strangest games that I have ever played, and you too can play it as it is available on PC with console coming at a later date. The game comes to us from Panache Digital Games, co-founded by Assassin’s Creed creative director Patrice Désilets, and takes place ten million years ago as players take control of the earliest ancestors of humanity. The game hands the future of the species evolution in the hands of players.

“I am extremely proud of what my team and I have accomplished with Ancestors. I wanted to make a game about evolution that would help remind us of our shared primal instincts. Once I thought of this concept, I could not shake this idea of struggling, trying to survive in this massive, dangerous world,” said Patrice Désilets, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Panache Digital Games. “Today is a great day because we can now share this game with the real world. It may be a difficult journey but hopefully you can survive just as our own ancestors did.”

More information can be found at the official website. Console versions to launch in December 2019.
