Private Division and Panache Digital Games today announced that Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey will launch for PC via the Epic Games Store on August 27th. Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is the debut title from Panache Digital Games, the independent development studio co-founded in 2014 by Patrice Désilets, the original creative director of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
In Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, players are challenged to survive and evolve in the harsh yet beautiful land of Africa spanning from ten million to two million years ago. As humankind’s primate predecessors, players explore Neogene Africa, expand their territory, and evolve to advance their clan from one generation to the next in order to survive in this innovative take on the open world survival genre. The game and its mechanics rely on evolution, discovery, and survival as players traverse a variety of terrain and environments, encounter various predators, and learn new abilities to pass along to the next generation of their clan.
Patrice Désilets, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Panache Digital Games, said:
“Our goal for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is to provide an experience no player has ever lived before. Our small team is creating an ambitious and immersive game with a unique setting that will captivate gamers of all types, and we look forward to players exploring our world later this year.”
Kari Toyama, Senior Producer at Private Division, added:
“Private Division and Panache Digital Games share a passion for providing the best possible experience to all our players. As partners, we support Panache in taking the time to ensure all versions of Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey deliver the standard of polish upon release that the team has set for themselves. As a developer focused publisher, this is an important approach we take in working with smaller independent teams.”
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey will be available on PC exclusively through the Epic Games Store for the first year, at which point it will come to additional digital PC retailers.
Last but not least, Panache Digital Games has released a new set of screenshots that you can find below.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Another one bites the dust ! All thanks to the almighty
infamous “EPIC Games Store”.Emphasis on the word “Epic”
I really need to start making a list of devs from which never to buy games from.
It’s a shame that because of a publisher’s decision to make it time exclusive the developers has to suffer the consequenses. I’ll buy the game in Epic anyway, been expecting this game since it was first conceived. F my principles.
I’ll just grab a torrent. Epic can’t expect to F**k with the consumer without ending up f**ked.
Undefeated champ.
Lmao.
AC Origins
RAge 2
Metro Exodus
DMC 5
Wanna continue, shill?
I’m a pirate when it comes to Epic store and other greddy companies, like EA and Bethesda.
Also, what happend to you, Don? Did your account got banned for too much spamming and shilling? Lmao.
How can you fail so much with Google?
The developers probably get a buttload of cash. That’s what most likely happens. And they get a % increase from the better cut (although likely not nearly as much as the upfront payment).
Right, but by going after Epic they loose a big amount of buyers because of their anti-consumers policies. That’s what bothers me, why go for the exclusivity instead of releasing it in all the damned platforms. Because they get the money before hands? Because the publishers doesn’t have enough confidence in the product?
“Because the publishers doesn’t have enough confidence in the product?”
It’s not easy to sell lots of copies. Epic money is guaranteed money. It grants them stability regardless of performance. Besides, the game will release on Steam later anyway.

really that’s all we’re gonna talk about nowadays? Aren’t we even gonna mention the subpar graphics and gameplay?
Is this game about on Tim Sweeney’s ancestors?
our ancestors not just tim sweeney’s.
So you are a monkey and not a goat. Can’t say I am really that surprised.
Careful,he will report you to Pakistani authorities…
i remember your rant about adam and eve. just so you know muslims believe we’re descendants of magical creatures called adam and eve as well. must be proud to have same opinion as brain washed third world people.
same opinion
Not at all the same; Muhammad plagiarized (badly) Moses and other Biblical authors.
yeah i know but all religions are equally stupid, this is why i tell everyone i know to travel everywhere. southern conservatives in united states have a ton in common with middle easterners (both jews and muslims). if you don’t believe me just travel and see for yourself.
equally
That’s simply not true. (It might be true of individual believers but not of the religions themselves.)
Christ’s teachings are the foundation of our modern notions of Liberty and equality under law.
And only one extant great world religion of peace mandates the rape, enslavement, and slaughter of all who refuse the “invitation” to convert.
oh boy, rytard alert.
That’s persuasive.
Are you gonna do that whole “dumb kid” thing again, and then I remind you of the last time you tried to do that and how I eviscerated you, and then you try to find some subtle way to move on from the subject?
i’m sitting here thinking about who you are and how i made you so hurt to remember me like this while i barely remember having any conversation with you, but if i did called you a dumb kid, i probably based it on facts and you proved it to me with your jesus comment, i’m glad i’m never wrong about judging others in here.
You keep saying that … then I tell you to go back, and look at the first time we tangoed and how I flayed you … then you come back with a sheepish grin, I make a gentle little jab, and we go away happy.
I just said all that above, hoping to save us some time, but you did not cooperate.
As for the Son of God, nothing I said in that post was false. Denying history, reality, humanity’s only Savior from sin? Now, that would be “dumb.”
you flayed me? you sound like you’re a disabled person from a third world country who struggles with simple tasks, how did you flay me exactly? i don’t click on other people’s profile or mine to see what i talked about with some random nobody like you. you keep talking about “flaying” me or “exposing” me or what ever you 60 iq kids call it but i’m having a hard time imagining someone as thick as you who sounds like he’s got his dik stuck in his sister “flay” me in any shape or form.
Eviscerated, not exposed.
Thanks for proving my point.
thanks for flaying me so viciously once again, see ya until next month when my flaying session by you begins again.
Flayed, not frayed.
(And there it is!)
thanks, i will pay more attention to your statements next time supreme leader.
That’s progress, and you’re welcome!
> and then I remind you of the last time you tried to do that and how I eviscerated you, and then you try to find some subtle way to move on from the subject?
Oh, this is great! You’re really chastising him for doing that? Really? You’re a hypocrite.
You’re really chastising him for doing that?
Because you’re spam-stalking me and completely unaware of the contexts of the threads you’re barging into, you’re embarrassing yourself. Again.

Hell YES !
For the sake of the gods, please STOP promoting EGS cancer !!!
Yay, let’s summon some branches shall we?
Bad first impression to make for PC gamers, by siding with one of the worst storefronts out there. Doesn’t help that their game looks like dated indie crap, so they won’t have visuals and “innovative gameplay” going for them.
humankind’s primate predecessors
So, it’s science fiction/fantasy/atheistic propaganda.
yes for 60 iq guys like you who work at mcdonald.
60 iq [sic]
Worked all night on that one, did we?
Keep trying; you’ll get there!
“keep trying”
santiago the brown and disabled back at it fraying me and flaying me. why are you so tough to argue with? can you teach me about chirst teachings so that i can increase my iq score to 60 like you?
so that i can increase my iq score to 60
That would be an improvement.
how do you come up with these great lines? are you telling my you have increased your iq score to 61 since last time?
how do you come up with these great lines?
You make it easy. Thanks for asking.
you’re welcome yar.
ah sh*t, that’s why i love pirates exist.
