Ubisoft's Immortals Fenyx Rising, formerly known as Gods & Monsters, will be bringing mythological fights to consoles and PC in late 2020. Playing as the titular Fenyx, players will will embark on an open-world adventure to fulfill a prophecy and save the gods.
Immortals Fenyx Rising has had a bumpy road to release. After first being unveiled at E3 2019 under its original name Gods & Monsters, Immortals Fenyx Rising largely disappeared from public view. It was originally slated to release in February of 2020, but became one of six games Ubisoft announced in October 2019 would be pushed from their original release dates. Then, in June 2020, a year-old gameplay demo of Immortals Fenyx Rising was accidentally placed onto Google Stadia, prompting Ubisoft to quickly assure people that the game had greatly progressed past the bland textured models seen in the demo.
At the most recent Ubisoft Forward event, Immortals Fenyx Rising was given a considerable spotlight, including significant gameplay footage. Here's everything we know so far about the game:
Immortals Fenyx Rising follow Fenyx, a demigod who prophecy says will be able to save the Greek gods from the curse of the Titan Typhon. As Fenyx traverses the world, her journey will be narrated by Zeus and Prometheus, with occasional joking asides, and meta-layers like the addition of a monster fight because Zeus got bored with the story. Immortals Fenyx Rising will be an open-world adventure inspired by Greek mythology, set on the mythical Golden Isle. The isle is broken into different regions ruled by different Greek gods, and players will be able to go to the regions in any order they wish.
Fenyx has three legendary weapons (a light sword, an axe, and a bow) as well as godly ultimate abilities like Athena's Dash and Ares' Wrath to do extra combat damage. Fenyx will level-up and have a skill tree, and also use consumable potions in battles. The strength of those potions can be leveled up by finding special items. Immortals Fenyx Rising will feature mini-puzzle dungeons, including Vaults of Tartarus, which will require both combat and traversal skills to reach the end, where players will be rewarded with an increase to their stamina.
After being delayed from February 2020, Immortals Fenyx Rising will finally be released on December 3rd, 2020. The game will be available on current and next-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as Nintendo Switch, PC, and Google Stadia. Ubisoft has confirmed that those who buy PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game will be able to upgrade to next-gen at no additional cost. The game will cost $59.99 for the standard version and $99.99 for the Gold Edition, which will include a season pass. At the moment, the only details confirmed for the season pass is that it will include 3 narrative DLCs as well as a bonus quest. No additional details on when the DLC should be expected or what they are about have been announced.
Immortals Fenyx Rising preview demos have been made available to critics, and the response has overall been mostly enthusiastic, though tempered by criticisms that perhaps it hews a little to close to the gameplay of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Either way, players looking for a well-crafted, if perhaps overly-familiar, open-world adventure game might want to take a look at Immortals Fenyx Rising this holiday.
