Patrice Desilets has revealed what his next project is, and it has an ancestral link to his other creation: Assassin’s Creed. It seems he couldn’t give up the ‘exploring the past’ angle and has decided to go deeper into history.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a third-person ”action-adventure survival episodic game” that will look to mankind’s greatest historical moments through the passage of time.
Moments like Gabe Newell deciding to grow a beard, presumably. What else is there? Pyramids and Great Walls? Pfft. Anyone could put slap sand and stone bricks together and call it ‘civilization’. Exact details on this Humankind Odyssey weren’t spilled by Desilets.
We do know it’ll be episodic and, depending on what part of history it’s exploring will determine what type of genre vibe it will focus on. ”Through each episodes, we want the player to relive the greatest moments of mankind with a documentary twist. Our civilisation is one idea away from extinction… or evolution,” reads the official Panache Digital Games website.
