Hey! No Ancestors will not be enhanced for Xbox One X but it should be great on all platforms! 👍Hey! No Ancestors will not be enhanced for Xbox One X but it should be great on all platforms! 👍— Panache Digital Games (@PanacheDGames) October 29, 2019October 29, 2019
Many months ago at The Game Awards 2018, Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets showcased his next project called Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. The title is supposed to give you a glimpse into the lives of our genetic ancestors like chimpanzee-like creatures and other apes millions of years ago. What makes Ancestors unique is that it doesn't appear to have any voice acting or other means of storytelling. The plot — which also spans millions of years — is entirely showcased through its visuals.
If you can't wait to get your hands on the game, you'll be excited to know that it's available for preorder on Xbox One for $40. It's hitting the console on December 6, so the wait won't be too long. Right now, there's just a placeholder file that's 100 MB, but expect it to grow into a large file by the time the title launches.
Unfortunately, the Microsoft Store isn't providing any details about the Xbox One X enhancements. Given the visuals and scale of the game, let's hope that the developer upgrades it for Microsoft's latest console. On PC, it looks spectacular in 4K resolution with better effects.
