PC players are in for a nice surprise this week: Immortals Fenyx Risingone of the most refreshing games in the Ubisoft catalog, is offered free for a limited time. Conceived as a fusion between the mythological universe ofAssassin’s Creed Odyssey and the visual and structural style of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildthis title mixes adventure, combat, puzzles and humor in a colorful open world.
This gift comes on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Ubisoft Connect, the publisher’s platform which centralizes its games, statistics and communities on PC. And even if it is not a new game, this title has, over time, managed to conquer a loyal community – despite a discreet launch and a forced name change.
A game with an atypical course and obvious inspiration
Originally released in 2020, Immortals Fenyx Rising was first announced under the name Gods and Monsters. A title deemed too close to the Monster Energy brand, which forced Ubisoft to review its copy. This change did not slow down the release of the game, but it muddied the communication around its release – an obstacle from which it now finally seems to be freed.
Gameplay side, Immortals Fenyx Rising is based on mechanics close to the latest Zelda productions: a fully exploratory open world, stylized artistic direction, enigmatic sanctuaries and constant freedom of approach. But the game adds a light narration, dynamic combat, and a fully assumed immersion in Greek mythology.
You play Fenyx, a hero or heroine that you shape, sent to save the gods of Olympus from a terrible curse. Along the way, you will encounter mythological creatures, use the divine powers of Zeus, Athena or Hermes, and face Typhon, the ultimate titan.
Why you should download it now
Ubisoft offers Immortals Fenyx Rising on PC from November 13 via its Ubisoft Connect launcher. Once claimed, the game is permanently added to your library, with no time limit or subscription required. This is a rare offer for a title of this quality, still sold at full price on certain consoles.
Please note however, this offer is exclusively reserved for the PC version. If you play on console, the game remains accessible via other services like PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass, but without this definitive free.
If you like open-world action-adventure games, mythological universes, or are looking for a light and colorful alternative to the more serious tone of the latest Assassin’s Creed, Immortals Fenyx Rising is an excellent choice. And since it’s free, you have no reason to miss it.
