The latest from Ubisoft Quebec, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, tells the tale of a Greek warrior that saves the Gods from an evil Titan. The legendary story is narrated by nonother than Zeus, King of the Gods, and Prometheus, the all-knowing Titan.
To save the Gods, Zeus must rely on humans. Enter the main character, Fenyx, in an adventure filled with colorful combat and a sense of wonder as the unfolds.
The Story So Far
Long ago, a soldier by the name of Fenyx found themselves stranded on the Golden Isle. Initially occupied by the Greek Gods, the Golden Isle was now overrun with beasts and demons from the Underworld. A Titan named Typhon stole the holy land from the Gods and began causing havoc due to a dark curse.
Players will begin the game as their own version of Fenyx. It will be up to this new hero to destroy the minions of Typhon and restore the Gods' land. As Fenyx, players must gain the Gods' trust to collect their blessings, abilities, and weapons to take down Typhon.
The action-adventure story will be narrated by Prometheus and the King of the Gods, Zeus. However, their long history of disagreements bleeds into the story, and Fenyx adventure will change at a moment's notice. One second Fenyx will set out to battle a Griffin only to hear Zeus claim that it was actually a dangerous flock of chickens. Upgrade Fenyx's gear and abilities to handle anything Zeus and Typhon throw your way.
Release Date
Immortals: Fenyx Rising will launch on December 3rd, 2020 with two versions: a standard edition and the Gold edition. While the Standard version of Immortals: Fenyx Rising will launch with the base game, the Gold Edition will come with a list of extras.
The Gold Edition includes the season pass, consisting of future content (still to be announced), the Hades Shadowmaster character pack, the Orion Weapon pack and the Prism Wings. The Hades Shadowmaster pack will have gear and skins, while the Orion Weapon pack grants Fenyx constellation weapon skins and the Prism wings features a set of rainbow wings. Pre-Ordering the game will also grant players access to an exclusive quest called, A Tale of Fire and Lightning.
News to Know
Back in 2019, Ubisoft first announced Immortals: Fenyx Rising as Gods and Monsters, but the title was changed due to Monster Energy drink claiming it would confuse the public due to "Monster" being a part of the title.
Since then, Immortals: Fenyx Rising has undergone plenty of changes. The game is now a narrated real-time combat adventure game, including puzzles and an open-world to explore. Ubisoft Quebec also used some of that time to recruit Gareth Coker to work on the soundtrack. Coker's previous work includes Halo Infinite and Ori and the Blind Forest.
Currently, there is an exclusive demo of Immortals: Fenyx Rising on Stadia. The demo is a vertical slice mid-way through the game's story and gives a great look at what to expect from the full game. The Demo is only available on Stadia until October 29th.
Ubisoft Quebec has created another love story to Greek Mythology with a twist. The arguing narrators bring some freshness to the same old action-adventure title. Players can craft their own hero in Fenyx, but who knows what craziness lies in their way with such unpredictable storytelling.
Developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft, Immortals: Fenyx Rising releases December 3, 2020, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
