Considering that Creative Director Patrice Désilets was one of the masterminds behind
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the original
Assassin's Creed, and
Assassin's Creed II, I don't really need to tell you more about his new game to make you interested in his next project,
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, especially if you're a fan of third-person action-adventure titles with elements of exploration.
According to Désilets, The Humankind Odyssey is a third-person open world survival game where you discover, expand, and most importantly, evolve to advance your clan to the next generation. Sony has recently released an all-new
The Humankind Odyssey-focused dev diary, giving us a unique chance to take a closer look at the incredibly ambitious title and the renowned director's vision behind it.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is Désilets' first major project that will be released since 2009 when he left Ubisoft after finishing the works on
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Before the fall of THQ in 2013, Désilets and the team at THQ Montréal had been working on
1666: Amsterdam for three years.
Be sure to learn more about the world and rules of
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey down below:
Embark on the most incredible odyssey known to humankind: human evolution. Spanning from 10 million to 2 million years ago, begin your journey, “Before Us,” in Neogene period Africa. Explore a beautiful yet ruthless world, from swinging through tree branches in the jungle to stalking prey across the golden savannah grasslands. Decide what attributes to learn and hone in order to pass down knowledge to future generations, from crafting tools to enhancing evasive tactics against predators. Just like real life, make sure to eat, drink, and sleep to stay alive and have the energy to face any danger that may come your way.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is coming in 2019 to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
