PS5 players have been surprised with a free upgrade of a 2019 PS4 open-world game out of nowhere. Developed by Panache Digital Games, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey has been rebuilt with Unreal Engine 5 for current-gen.

Free PS5 upgrade of open-world survival game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey gets PS Store release date

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey’s PS5 version will release on the PS Store on December 8, and existing owners can claim it for free. Unfortunately, the game isn’t on sale right now, so newcomers should wait a little for the next promotion unless you don’t mind paying $39.99.

New features included in the PS5 version include a documentary mode, photo mode, and other quality-of-life improvements. Check out a trailer below:

“Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a third-person open world survival game where you Explore, Expand, and Evolve to advance your clan to the next generation,” an official description reads. “Embark on the most incredible odyssey known to humankind: human evolution. Spanning from 10 million to 2 million years ago, begin your journey, before us, in Neogene period Africa. Explore a beautiful yet ruthless world, from swinging through tree branches in the jungle to stalking prey across the golden savannah grasslands.”

We’ll update our readers when Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is available for the PS5.
