Cancelled Ubisoft Project Would Have Mixed Elden Ring With Wind Waker In A Polynesian Setting – Report

Back in July, news broke that a sequel to 2020’s Immortals: Fenyx Rising was canceled by Ubisoft after beginning development in 2021. Now, new information have emerged about the video game, which would have combined elements of Elden Ring and The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker in an island setting.

Axios has revealed several new information about the canceled project, which would see gamers hopping across islands inspired by New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawai’i, and more. Polynesian gods would have functioned as NPCs, and they would provide the player more powers– and tattoos to match– as they progressed through the story.

According to an Axios source, the video game would have been “extremely various from the rest of the Ubisoft portfolio,” as it would have replaced the map and marker systems discovered in the company’s open-world video games with a tracking system utilizing the wind, the stars, and even in-game animals.

The would-be Immortals 2 was likewise seen as a discrepancy from the very first game, as the report states it would be “dropping the first game’s storyteller, losing its emphasis on fixing puzzles and providing a more flexible story in which gamer option is significant.” The cancellation obviously caught the game’s developer by surprise, though it was just among Ubisoft’s current variety of cancellations in an attempt to concentrate on established franchises.

Ubisoft’s next major job, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, was just gone up to the first week of October after going gold last week. Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora– Ubisoft’s first entry into James Cameron’s film franchise– is scheduled to release in December.
