Just after two weeks of its release, the developers have released a major patch for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey which brings cloud saves to the game. Apart from this major addition, the patch also introduces some other new features to the game which are really helpful for players and also comes with different bug fixes which will further improve the gameplay experience for players.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey sets a new bar in gaming when it comes to giving players the ultimate freedom in video games to forge their own adventure. We have seen many different games in the past that are open-world and give players the freedom they want but none of them comes closer to Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. Due to its openness and lack of telling players even the basic of things, some reviewers even bashed the game for being too open.
However, it is an amazing game and just shows the true potential of the game’s engine and how much freedom developers can actually give players if the game is well-developed. After the game’s release, the developers are not just sitting idle as they are working to make the game even better with new features and improvements. The patch 1.1 is just the first of many which fixes bugs and adds new features.
With the Cloud Saves, players will be able to save their game on the cloud however the feature has to be activated manually from inside the game. Apart from Cloud Saves, players can now skip cinematics if they want to. The PC version also supports PS4 controller now. You can check out the complete list of new features added to the game along with the Bug Fixes below.
