Ubisoft has decided to offer its open-world game, Immortals Fenyx Rising, for free starting November 13 on its digital platform Ubisoft Connect.
This title, released in 2020 and acclaimed for its positive reviews, has fascinated players with its light humor, colorful artistic design, and an agile combat system.
To access this offer, users must log in or create an account on Ubisoft Connect and claim the game, which will be permanently linked to their account.
A game that is 5 years old and was very well received
Despite its favorable reception, which places it in comparison with titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Ubisoft canceled the development of a planned sequel, arguing the need to reallocate resources to other priority franchises.
The sequel, which promised to explore diverse mythologies such as Polynesian, had reached an early stage of development and was characterized by a narrative and experimental approach.
Ubisoft, however, had recognized the potential of Immortals Fenyx Rising to expand its IP beyond its initial release. The company envisioned a future where different myths and legends could be explored in the game, a concept similar to the popular God of War franchise. Through elements like easter eggs, the developers aimed to connect it with other successful narratives.
The initiative to offer the game for free aligns with the celebration of the fifth anniversary of Ubisoft Connect, which has evolved to include features such as cross-play and shared progression across various platforms. This strategy could revitalize interest in Immortals Fenyx Rising and perhaps open the door to a more promising future for this beloved IP among fans.
