That’s why we say “Good luck, we won’t help you much!” I truly believe that discovering something for the first time is part of what makes this game unique and exciting. These videos are here to scratch the surface of the main pillars of the game without spoiling anything for you. You’ll need to expand your territory and grow your clan as you evolve through the ages, gaining new abilities and passing them on to the next generations. Starting 10 million years ago and spanning over 8 million years, Ancestors will have you explore the beautiful, yet unforgiving world of Neogene Africa. Stay tuned for more coverage next week, where we'll show off some gameplay from our hands-on session with the game.As creative director and co-founder of Panache Digital Games, it’s with great pleasure that I’m presenting to you the first of our three videos in which we’ll dive into our first game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, a game where you will get the chance to experience the greatest adventure of all time: our own! Nevertheless, with its strong concept, I'm curious to see how Ancestors shapes up when it releases on digital stores, for $39.99, later this year. The world itself feels a bit barren, but as Désilets says this is a game about "epiphanies," and it's possible I just didn't come across the different combinations and tool-making methods during my demo.īut, having spent a couple hours with the game, it felt as though there were too few tutorials and not enough guidance offered to the player that would lead them towards compelling content. Climbing was fun but difficult, and I often missed the branches I was aiming for.
The controls don't feel intuitive, such as a clumsy way to slow down from a run without accidentally jumping midway. Here are six things you should know about it.Īncestors is a fascinating and ambitious idea, but the gameplay so far isn't holding up in the ways I hoped. We recently traveled to Montreal to try the action/adventure survival game ourselves. At first, it felt like a simpler approach than Assassin's Creed II's Italian Renaissance, but Ancestors has matured since that initial concept and morphed into something larger and more ambitious. Now, Panache is wrapping up the studio's first release, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey which is releasing later this year. Taking place in a prehistoric age before man, Ancestors tasks you with trying to survive as an ape and witnessing evolution happen right before your eyes.ĭésilets says the idea was designed around the team's capacity. Originally, Désilets hoped to work on 1666: Amsterdam, a game he had conceived at THQ and was later acquired by Ubisoft, but after a long legal battle to regain his legal rights to the project (which he finally did), the title is yet to reach the development phase. As the original creative director of Assassin's Creed, the gaming world has been excited about what he'd cook up next.
Five years ago, Patrice Désilets started up Panache, his own studio in the heart of Montreal.
