Take command of your army as you storm through medieval Europe in an extensive series of campaigns. Choosing one of the four available nations – Viking, Anglo-Saxon, German, Slav – you will be tasked with more than just conquering, raiding and pillaging enemy camps, villages and towns. Only by utilizing the full range of available tactical options, taking strategic advantage of the environment, and managing your temporary bases and settlements, will you emerge victorious.

Ancestors is a historically accurate real-time strategy game influenced by historical events in the Middle Ages. The game combines resource management and base building with large-scale, squad-based battles across vast battlefields, all rendered in great detail thanks to the Unreal Engine 4 tech. Experience medieval bloodshed like never before, thanks to the cinematic action camera that puts you right in the middle of the battle at the press of a button. 

The award-winning composer and sound designer has created music for over 30 games, including bestsellers such as The Witcher and its sequels. Adam has now turned his attention to resurrecting musical instruments of the past, for scoring the dark atmosphere of the merciless medieval times of Ancestors.

"It's a great pleasure and lots of fun to work again with the DC team! Dark folk/medieval music is something I’ve loved composing, since the times of the first The Witcher game. This time, I’m working with live instrumentalists and can finally compose the music the way it should be. Using traditional instruments and singing techniques is a great experiment which I really hope that players will be excited about while exploring the game," says Adam.
