Ubisoft is offering a major sale on Nintendo eShop with discounts up to 90% on popular titles like Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Immortals Fenyx Rising, with prices as low as $3.99, available until January 5.
PlayStation Plus offers the underrated 25-hour open-world RPG Immortals Fenyx Rising for free, a mythological adventure with praise for its humor, gameplay, and crossover appeal to fans of Assassin’s Creed and Zelda, making it a great pick for holiday gaming.
Ubisoft canceled the sequel to Immortals: Fenyx Rising, codenamed Oxygen, which was planned to be a departure from their typical formula. The game was inspired by Elden Ring and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, set in a fictionalized version of the Polynesian archipelago. It would have featured a more realistic art style, fewer puzzles, and a malleable story with significant player choice. Players would have gained special elemental powers and shape-shifting abilities by currying favor with Polynesian gods. The game's cancellation allowed Ubisoft to focus on established IP like Assassin's Creed Red, but the idea of a more expansive sequel to Immortals: Fenyx Rising was met with excitement.
Ubisoft has reportedly canceled the development of a sequel to Immortals Fenyx Rising, a game that launched in 2020. The decision was made due to perceived challenges in establishing the IP, and Ubisoft's shift in focus towards its bigger brands. The rumored sequel was expected to explore Polynesian mythology. Ubisoft has recently canceled three unannounced games and is now prioritizing the strengthening of its major IP and live services.
