![]() Her basic attack is a sword swing, capable of being worked into a nice series of strikes, and she’s also got a big axe for the heavy hitting. Fenyx is a powerful fighter in her own right, but blessed with the gods’ favor she wields magical weaponry that lets her go toe-to-toe against monstrously huge enemies. While her parentage is left unexplained, she’s undeniably strong enough to hold her own in lands overrun with the beasts of mythology. ![]() Immortals: Fenyx Rising tells the story of Fenyx, a young woman who’s the latest demigod to spring up from divine infidelity. I got far too little hands-on time with Immortals the other day, with a multi-hour session disappearing in what felt like minutes, and can confirm that the extra time has been put to good use creating a giant open-world action-fest through lands that have almost as many puzzles as monsters. Ubisoft announced today that Gods and Monsters is now The Game Formerly Known As Gods and Monsters, except it’s actually Immortals: Fenyx Rising. As it turns out, what happened is that games are big and tend to take much longer than even experienced developers plan for, and frequently go through changes along the way. February came and went without a peep and the next six months didn’t bring any explanation as to what happened. Gods and Monsters was announced last year with an ambitious release date of February 25 and then everything went silent. Gaming is no stranger to the setting, with the latest to use it as a giant playground being Ubisoft’s Gods and Monsters. The classic Greek pantheon was a dumpster fire of tangled relationships, but it made for great storytelling that’s survived thousands of years beyond its religions’ expiration dates. They’ve fought, argued, betrayed and killed each other in more ways than legends can count, to the point where it’s a wonder that humanity could have wrested a civilization out from the struggle of Zeus sleeping with anything that had two legs and (usually but not always) curves while hoping Hera wouldn’t find out. The great cliches live on because they ring true and few have been around longer than the giant broken screwed-up family of the Greek gods. These gods are Hades, Hestia, Poseidon, Demeter and Boreas.One of the great storytelling tropes is that of the dysfunctional family and the history of entertainment is packed to the gills with stories of people who shouldn’t be within fifty miles of each other.

Fenyx's quest is to find the 4 gods, Aphrodite, Ares, Athena and Hephaistos and free them from their new form, then bring them back together in the Hall of the Gods, where they can plan the attack on Typhon. After Typhon was freed from his chains, he inflicted corruption over the Gods' island and transformed them into useless versions of themselves. ![]() Prometheus proceeds to narrate the whole game by telling the story of the protagonist, Fenyx, who wakes up stranded on a strange island that was once inhabited by the Greek gods. The story starts with Zeus talking to Prometheus who's chained to a rock. The gameplay is full of sword, axe & bow combat, intertwined with numerous puzzles across the game.
