Former Ubisoft creative director, Patrice Désilets, has announced Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, the first game to come from his new studio Panache Digital Games.
The game is described as being an episodic third-person action adventure with survival elements. Each episode will let players relive some of the greatest moments of mankind with a documentary twist. The tease for the game chillingly concludes that “Our civilization is one idea away from extinction…or evolution.”
There has been no indication yet as to a release date, or even which platforms the game will release on. As the studio was only formed at the end of 2014, it is reasonably safe to assume that the game is very much in the early stages and is merely a concept so far. As far as concepts go however, the exploration of the beginning of mankind is certainly an interesting one.

Episodic games just don’t work for me, until they can get to the point where their release schedule is adhered to. Otherwise I just wait until the whole season is released. Other than that, this sounds good.
