Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is an open-world third-person survival game where you can explore, expand, and evolve to advance your clan to the next generation in this exciting new adventure from the creator of Assassin's Creed. Embark on the most incredible odyssey known to mankind: human evolution. Starting between 10 million and 2 million years ago, begin your "Ahead" journey during the Neogene period in Africa. Explore a beautiful yet unforgiving world, from the swaying branches of trees in the jungle to the golden savannas. Decide what attributes need to be learned and improved to pass on knowledge to future generations, from crafting tools to improving tactics against predators. Just like in real life, remember to eat, drink, and sleep to stay alive and have the energy to face the danger that may come your way. Grow your clan and find strength in numbers as you progress through the critical stages of human evolution. Your choices will write the history of your clan and show if you can survive evolution. Key features: Explore unforgiving Africa: Explore the unknown world of Neogene Africa that began 10 million years ago, at the dawn of humanity. From the tops of the trees overlooking the lush jungle, the golden meadows of the savannah, we traverse a beautiful landscape that does not forgive. With every breathtaking view, beware of the weather, predators, and other dangers that threaten your survival. Expand your territory and tear your clan apart: increase your chances of survival by uniting new members of your species and giving birth to future generations. Control different clan members, form bonds to create families, and work together to intimidate predators during expeditions. Overcome your fear as you explore unknown locations to expand your territory. Evolution through multiple generations: See the physical and intellectual evolution of the first hominids as they explore, learn, and survive. Starting between 10 million and 2 million years ago, you play as one of the first hominids and evolve over millions of years during key stages of human evolution. Make important discoveries and hone physical skills that will be passed on to future generations, such as Ardipithecus ramidus and Australopithecus. Choose How to Survive: Evolution is not set in stone. Your decisions shape how you overcome obstacles, increase species, and knowledge passed on to future generations. Focus on specific attributes or choose a more balanced approach to survival. Your clan's ability to survive will be directly dependent on your choices, making each player's experience unique.
