Ubisoft’s Immortals: Fenyx Rising is coming before the year ends. A now-deleted Microsoft Store post will likely come out on December 3.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a much-awaited AA title on the way. According to a Twitter account named @Wario64, an accidental MS Store listing came out this weekend. According to the listing, the game will be out early December for the holidays.
The leaked listing also has screenshot photos of the game itself. If the alleged images are a basis, the game will look like a AA Kid Icarus title.
Fenyx Rising to show off Icarus-like main character
If the listing is true, Fenyx Rising will be a mythology-based title. The game is an open-world adventure title from Ubisoft Quebec. Unsurprisingly, The team at Ubisoft Quebec is the same people who put together the greek-themed Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.

While AC: Odyssey is more historical, Immortals is very mythological. It seems to follow the main character akin to Icarus, the winged son of Daedalus. Players will have a winged-armor, likely alluding to the wings crafted by Icarus’s father.
The leaked images suggest that the main character will be fighting some mythological creatures. These will include the legendary Minotaur of Crete and what seems to be the griffin. Based on the alleged leaks, there are also three armors revealed.
The first is a gilded armor similar to the Nemean Lion and Hermes’s winged helmet. The second is a standard black armor with the Icarus wings. The last is a green snake armor, likely based off Medusa and the Gorgoneion.

Fenyx Rising is PC Breath of the Wild
Immortals: Fenyx Rising so far looks like it’s based off Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The design looks stellar, with the same color palette as the Nintendo game. Its design aesthetic uses good cel-shading and likely designed similarly to BotW.
The world has seven regions inspired by gods. These regions have their puzzles to unlock and a ton of combat to play. The leaked images suggest that players will also fight other enemies like the Cyclops.
From what everyone knows, the game should be accessible to a lot of fans. The homage to classical Greek mythology is always a welcome touch. Deeper classical lore would be great to have in video games.
Fenyx Rising is another way to look at the ancient gods of old. Nobody is sure how much of the gameplay will represent them, but the leaked images look magnificent.
If the public believes the leaks, Immortals: Fenyx Rising will come out December 3. Everyone will likely get more information as the year pushes through.
