After the coronavirus quickly turned into a worldwide pandemic, Nintendo NY shut down for a few months. The store finally reopened earlier this month. However, reservations were required to gain entry, so you couldn’t just walk in as you normally would.

We’re still far from normal, but Nintendo NY is now removing the reservation requirement. Beginning on September 1, general entry will be accepted.

A Short Hike

Nintendo released a new video today showcasing a few European digital game highlights from August 2020. You can watch it below.

A game entitled “Immortals: Fenyx Rising” has appeared on the Taiwanese rating board with Ubisoft listed as the publisher. It has been rated for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. 

While no game by this name has been announced by Ubisoft at this time, it seems likely this is the new title for their upcoming adventure game, Gods & Monsters. Ubisoft confirmed that Gods & Monsters would be getting a new name after its accidental demo leak back in June and seeing that the main character’s name is Fenyx, it makes sense that this would be the new title.

However, nothing has been confirmed at this time and this information comes from Gematsu, not Ubisoft directly. So, there is a slim chance that this game is not Gods & Monsters, but more information should come from Ubisoft soon.
