Immortals Fenyx Rising not so immortal, as Ubisoft reportedly cancels sequel

Ubisoft has reportedly cancelled its plans to release an Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel.

Word of a follow up to 2020’s mythological romp first surfaced last year, when it was reported a game was in the pre-production stages, with Ubisoft hiring for the title. Subsequent reports then suggested this game would not, in fact, be a fully fledged sequel, but rather a spin-off with a Hawaiian Polynesian theme.

Now it seems the company has decided to pull the plug on this project all together. Sources familiar with Immortals Fenyx Rising’s supposed sequel told VGC the Quebec studio’s game is no longer in the works due to “perceived challenges around establishing the IP”. Allegedly, Ubisoft instead wants to shift its focus to its “most prominent brands”.
