Patrice Désilets, the creator of the Assassin's Creed series and director of 1666: Amsterdam, has said he will make a sequel to open-world human evolution survival game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey .

The short version

  • Désilets, talking to me at a recent 1666: Amsterdam event, said 2019's Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey was written as a "volume one".
  • "I've designed different volumes to eventually be growing the game," he said.
  • I didn't think he owned the Ancestors franchise - I thought Take-Two's defunct publishing label Private Division did.

What happened

However, Désilets replied: "I own the IP. But it's complex." So he could make a sequel if he wanted to.

Why it matters

As a player, you survived through different eras of third-person action survival gameplay, as the game lurched millions of years through time.
