The forgotten game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey will be released in an updated edition on December 8, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Owners of the PS4 and Xbox One versions will be able to upgrade for free.
The project from Panache Digital Games, founded by the creator of the first Assassin's Creed games, will be ported from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5. The developers promise improved optimization, a photo mode, and a new narrative in the style of a professional documentary. There will also be changes designed to make the gameplay more comfortable.
The original game received mixed reviews due to its monotony and inconvenient controls, although it had significant potential. The updated version may interest fans of unusual survival games, especially those who already own the project in their library.
