Assassin’s Creed creator’s new game Ancestors gets a teaser trailer

Every human on Earth can trace their lineage back to a single ancestor who lived in Africa about 60,000 years ago, and now it looks like someone is going to make a game about that.

Noted game designer Patrice Desilets revealed a teaser trailer for his new game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey today. The video starts with a Charles Darwin quote before opening up on Africa 10 million years ago. We then get several quick shots of animals before we see a primate sneaking around the jungle and jumping from tree to tree. The teaser doesn’t show anything beyond that, but between the Darwin quote, the title, and the missing-link imagery in the game’s logo, it seems obvious that Desilets is looking to explore the origin of humanity.
