Best Xbox One games coming soon — Ancestors, Halo: Reach, and more

Every week, numerous games launch on Xbox One, but which ones truly stand out? Here are some of the biggest and most anticipated titles launching across Microsoft’s platforms next week. We have a few new smaller releases on Xbox One, but there are still a few surprises here and there. Notably, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is finally launching on the console, and Halo: Reach offers an interesting take on the first-person shooter genre. With that in mind, here are all the best games launching next week, between December 2 and 6.

Many months ago at The Game Awards 2018, Assassin’s Creed creator Patrice Désilets showcased his next project called Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey. The title is supposed to give you a glimpse into the lives of our genetic ancestors like chimpanzee-like creatures and other apes millions of years ago. What makes Ancestors unique is that it doesn’t appear to have any voice acting or other means of storytelling. The plot — which also spans millions of years — is entirely showcased through its visuals.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey should launch on December 6, priced at $40.
