Eyes from Olympus
Immortals Fenyx Rising gets its third (and maybe final) expansion on the 22nd April. Titled The Lost Gods, it's actually a bit of a departure from the main game and its previous DLCs.

News Immortals Fenyx Rising's Third DLC Does Things Much Differently, Out Next Week
The Lost Gods
Immortals Fenyx Rising is getting its third expansion next week, on the 22nd April. It's titled 'The Lost Gods', and as far as we're aware, this is the final planned DLC for the open world game. But much like Myths of the Eastern Realm, this add-on won't feature Fenyx or locations from the main release. Instead, you'll play as a new...

Rise again
Immortals Fenyx Rising's second and arguably most exciting expansion is out today on both PlayStation 5 and PS4. Titled Myths of the Eastern Realm, it doesn't have much to do with the main game.

News Immortals Fenyx Rising Does Its Best Dreamworks Trailer Impression
Tough crowd
Immortals Fenyx Rising wants to be funny, but this story trailer falls a bit flat for us. There’s nothing wrong with the Greek open worlder adopting a more light-hearted vibe, of course, but we’re not a fan of the kids movie humour on display here. Fortunately, we get a good look at the game, including combat and exploration. How...

Monster mash

But apparently, there's more to it than that. As VGC reports, trademark documents say that the name 'Gods & Monsters' was actually opposed by energy drink brand Monster...

Take flight
Ubisoft streamed over an hour of Immortals Fenyx Rising following its re-reveal earlier in the week, and it goes without saying that this is our best look at the open world game yet.

From the ashes
It's official: Gods & Monsters, the open world action title from the team behind Assassin's Creed Odyssey, is now called Immortals: Fenyx Rising.
