Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is now available for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. Now those console players can (maybe) enjoy the game that critics "didn't play." This is at least according to former Assassin's Creed developer and creator of Ancestors Patrice Désilets.
However, that's not the purpose of today's news. Today, we're talking just about today's launch of the game on PS4 and XB1. In Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey you are tasked with trying to ensure your clan's survival through the process of evolution. You will square off against predators, explore multiple biomes, swing through jungle canopies, and develop survival skills needed to survive. For instance, did you know that you could turn a stick into a spear? It's true!
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is available now for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via the Epic Games Store (affiliate link). It can be yours for $39.99 (USD) on any of those platforms. Unknown to me, it's apparently coming to Steam at some point in 2020.
"Ancestors is very much a story that is co-written by the player,†said Patrice Désilets, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Panache Digital Games. “We created a world in which you are free to explore and develop this narrative that you control. It’s intentionally challenging, and we give players great freedom to explore and learn on their own, which makes each discovery and accomplishment incredibly rewarding."

You decide how to evolve your clan and if the fiction will be one of prey or predator by how you play the game.
