VIDEO: Assassin's Creed creator's next game offers intriguing take on episodic formula

Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Désilets’ next game, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, will put an interesting spin on the episodic formula.

The narrative-driven game will be released in episodes, but the title will also offer an open-world sandbox. Once you complete an objective, you can then continue to spend some time in the game world between episodes.

“[Ancestors] is an episodic, narrative-driven game where we leave you there with the toy in between episodes," Désilets explained.
