Formerly known asGods and Monsters,Immortals Fenyx Risingis one of thebig projects Ubisoft is currently working on. While a few different aspects of the game have leaked, Ubisoft confirmed multiple details about the game at today’s Ubisoft Forward event, which revealed information about a number of the company’s games.
With a light-hearted tone and Greek Mythology-inspired story,Immortalsis a bit different than anything else Ubisoft has done, despite its heavy influence fromAssassin’s Creed Odysseyin terms of combat and certain gameplay mechanics. And whileImmortalsrelease date previously leaked, fans now have official confirmation that the game will launch on December 3 this year, which isn’t too long of a wait.

The December release date is a wise move, as it separates the game from some of the bigger launches of the year. Specifically, the game will have some breathing room fromCyberpunk 2077and Ubisoft’s ownAssassin’s Creed Valhalla,which release on November 19 and November 10, respectively,Valhalla’srelease date was moved upyesterday, after an initial release date of November 17, making it a launch day game for the Xbox Series X.
Ubisoft’s name change may cause some confusion forImmortals,but it’s as of yet unclear if that will be the case. BeforeGods and Monsterswas delayed and renamedtoImmortals,relatively little was known about it, so it may not cause too many problems for the company. The change does represent a massive shift for the game, which was given extra development time, along with several other games, in the wake ofGhost Recon: Breakpoint’slackluster launch.
It’s now a waiting game for those that are interested inImmortals.With Ubisoft launching two other major titles beforeImmortalshits shelves, the game’s success could hinge on the reception of the other titles,Watch Dogs LegionandAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.Ubisoft does seem confident in its lineup this season, though, especially with the launch of next-gen hardware right around the corner.
The December 3 release date forImmortalswill likely be here before fans realize, and with such a packed schedule for games over the next few weeks, gamers may need to manage their time to fit everything in. Of course, delays are always a possibility, especially with the ongoing pandemic, thoughImmortalshas already gone through a sizeable delay, so it may not be as affected as other games have been by the current situation.
Immortals Fenyx Risingwill launch December 3 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
