Ancestors

Panache Digital Games and Private Division have released the first video in a new three-video series for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. We actually briefly talked about this game back when it was revealed to have a 2019 release date, which has some more general information about the game itself. As before, the game is looking to arrive this year on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The short of it is that the game tasks you with trying to survive, thus ensuring the future of your species through evolution and good decision making. It is an open-world survival game at heart, but instead of just your own survival at stake, it's the fate of all humanity. Hey, no pressure or anything, right?

In the first of three videos, learn about core survival skills and some of the threats along your journey from Creative Director and co-founder of Panache Digital Games, Patrice Désilets. Interspersed with new footage, the video shows how the player will explore Neogene Africa beginning 10 million years ago in order to survive human evolution.
