Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a third-person survival game developed by Panache Digital Games and published by Private Division. It is set to be released for Microsoft Windows on August 27, 2019, and on December 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the game, players control a lineage of apes and are tasked to ensure its survival in prehistoric Africa and facilitate its evolution. It will be Patrice Désilets' first game since the release of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (2010).

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a survival game played from a third-person perspective. In the game, players control a member of an ape clan and have to manage the player character's health by eating, drinking, and sleeping. The game starts in an African jungle, an open world filled with threats including predators like giant birds and poisonous plants. Players can climb any tree in the jungle, though the player character will break its bones if it falls down. As players progress, new areas are opened up for players to explore. When an ape is exploring new locations or being hunted by predators, it will enter a state of "fear" which can be overcome by finding glowing orbs of light, or else it will descend into a state of hysteria. While the world is dangerous, the apes can use their heightened senses to listen to various sounds, such as that of a predator, a lost clan member, or an outsider which can be recruited to the player's clans. The primate can use its intelligence to pinpoint the locations of different items of interest and make new discoveries such as identifying new food or tools. As players continue to make new discoveries, the apes become more intelligent and capable, and new skills such as using leaves to make bedding and medicinal plants to heal themselves are unlocked. If the player character dies, players will shift to controlling another clan member. If all clan members die, the lineage becomes extinct and players need to restart the game.

The goal of the player is to ensure the ape clan's survival as it slowly evolves and becomes a new species. As the clan grows, players can switch to play as other characters such as an infant, an adult, an elder, and a mother carrying her child. As the clan slowly expands, the player character can perform social tasks like calling members of the clan to hunt together. When an ape is sleeping, players can unlock new abilities by developing the ape's nervous system, which functions as a skill tree. These skills, such as the ability to use both hands and stand upright, facilitate evolution. As apes undergo procreation, unlocked skills are passed on to future generations. The game is expected to be 40 to 50 hours long, and it documents the clan's evolution across eight million years.
