Panache Digital Games and Private Division today revealed the first episode of a brand new video series, entitled “Experiences,” where Creative Director Patrice Désilets explores Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey’s unique concepts with various experts outside of gaming.
Each video in the series features a noted specialist, from fields including anthropology, paleontology and wilderness survival. As these scientists, athletes, and creative minds share their own journeys, they discover how similar emotions and experiences are created within the game.
In the first episode, Patrice Désilets meets anthropologist turned filmmaker Dr. Niobe Thompson, to discuss survival 10 million years ago in Neogene Africa, an unforgiving world that players will be transported to in Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.
A new “Experiences” video will be released every three weeks, with 7 episodes to follow.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey will launch for PC via the Epic Games store on August 27, 2019, and digitally on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in December 2019.
