Would be one among many cancellations at Ubisoft in last 12 months
Ubisoft have apparently aborted plans for a sequel toImmortals Fenyx Rising, according to a report onVGC. They cite “multiple development sources” who, speaking anonymously, say that the project was scrapped earlier this month.
Immortals Fenyx Rising was developed by Ubisoft Quebec, who were apparently also working on its sequel. Prior to Immortals, the studio was responsible for development onAssassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Ubisoft have seemingly scrapped several projects in the past twelve months. In January, they cancelledthree unannounced gamesand abandoned “team battle arena"Project Q. Last July they cancelled Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline,Splinter CellVR andtwo unannounced games. The cancellations came amid what Ubisoft called “worsening macroeconomic conditions” and an industry shift “towards mega-brands and long-lasting titles”, leading the French publisher towards “increased cautiousness”.
On the subject of a Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel, an Ubisoft spokesperson told VGC the company “does not comment on rumours or speculation.” It’s worth keeping in mind that no Immortals sequel was ever officially announced, although it was rumoured, and so there’s no need to ‘officially’ cancel it either.
