Ancestors originally released on PC in 2019.The player controls an ancient lineage of primates, exploring the environment, learning to use tools and helping subsequent generations survive.The transition to Unreal Engine 5 is not a new story campaign.

The developers have not yet provided a complete list of resolutions and frame rates for each console.Visual comparisons are especially important for Switch 2 - the promise of a new engine alone does not guarantee the same graphics on all devices.
