Ubisoft’s Response to Reports of Immortals Fenyx Rising 2 Cancellation
In response to recent reports, Ubisoft has released an official statement regarding the cancellation of Immortals Fenyx Rising 2. While the developer did not explicitly confirm the cancellation, their statement strongly suggests that the sequel will not be moving forward.
According to a statement provided to VGC, Ubisoft acknowledged internal restructuring within their Quebec studio, specifically shifting resources to focus on key projects. While the nature of these projects has not been disclosed, Ubisoft’s mention of “biggest brands” implies a shift towards more profitable endeavors. While Immortals Fenyx Rising gained attention for its similarities to The Legend of Zelda, its sales performance did not meet expectations.
“As part of our global strategy, we are redirecting and reallocating some creative teams and resources within the Quebec studio to other unannounced projects,” Ubisoft responded to VGC. “The expertise and technologies these teams developed will serve as an accelerator for the development of these key projects focused on our biggest brands. We have nothing further to share at this time.”
In essence, it can be concluded that Immortals Fenyx Rising 2 has been cancelled. It is a disappointing loss for fans of the original game.
