Immortals Fenyx Rising

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a 2020 action-adventure game from Ubisoft Quebec, published by Ubisoft. It launched on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The story is framed as a tale told by Prometheus to Zeus, following Fenyx—a mortal who sets out to rescue their brother and stop the escaped titan Typhon. Critics gave the game positive reviews.

In this third-person action-adventure, players control Fenyx, whose gender, voice, and appearance can be customized (though the character is canonically female). After unlocking the Hall of Gods, further changes are possible using Aphrodite's Beauty Chair. The Golden Isle, the game’s open world, has seven distinct regions inspired by Greek myths. A bird companion named Phosphor helps mark points of interest on the map. Fenyx can climb cliffs, ride mounts, and fly with the wings of Daedalus to explore freely from the start. Rifts in the world teleport the player to the Vaults of Tartaros, platforming challenges that test combat and traversal skills. Side objectives and optional puzzles are also available.

Enemies include creatures like minotaurs and cyclopes. Combat features fast light attacks with a sword and slow heavy attacks with an axe, plus a bow and arrows. Stamina must be managed, as Fenyx tires after repeated moves. As the game progresses, godlike abilities unlock—such as Ares' Wrath, which launches enemies into the air with spears. Armor and weapons can be upgraded by gathering crafting resources.

The plot begins with Typhon escaping after eons imprisoned under a mountain by Zeus. He attacks the Olympian gods, stealing their essences and powers. Zeus flees to Prometheus, who wagers that a mortal can beat Typhon, winning Prometheus his freedom. Using foresight, Prometheus tells the story of Fenyx.

Fenyx, a young shield-bearer for the Delian League, survives a shipwreck on the Golden Isle, finding everyone turned to stone. After collecting artifacts and receiving a prophecy, Fenyx rescues a stranger who turns out to be Hermes. He explains Typhon’s threat, and Fenyx agrees to restore the deposed gods. Along the way, Fenyx befriends a fire bird named Phosphor. The restored gods include Aphrodite (a tree), Ares (a rooster), Hephaestus (an automaton), and Athena (a child). Fenyx also defeats corrupted spirits of Achilles, Atalanta, Heracles, and Odysseus.
