Ubisoft scraps plans for Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel

Back in 2020, Ubisoft released Immortals Fenyx Rising and while it wasn't a huge sales hit, the game did garner a decent reception. Ubisoft Quebec has been working on a sequel for a while now but unfortunately, the publisher has now pulled the plug due to concerns over the growth potential for the IP. 

According to VGC's sources, Ubisoft recently cancelled the Fenyx Rising sequel due to ‘challenges around establishing the IP'. It would seem that the launch and long-term sales of the original game left Ubisoft with little confidence that a sequel could bring a boost.

In response to the story, an Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed that it did recently reallocate “some creative teams and resources within the Quebec studio”. Now, the Fenyx Rising team will work on other unannounced projects, like one of the many Assassin's Creed games Ubisoft currently has in development.

Ubisoft also cancelled a few other unannounced projects earlier this year as part of a pivot within the publisher to triple down on its most well-known IP. This means we'll be seeing a lot more Assassin's Creed over the next few years, as well as new Tom Clancy games and possibly a new Far Cry and Watch Dogs somewhere in between.

KitGuru Says: Immortals Fenyx Rising did end up garnering decent sales numbers after discounts and sales began to take effect. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll never be getting a sequel, which I think is a missed opportunity, as Ubisoft could have easily had a Zelda-like adventure franchise on its hands.
