Immortals: Fenyx Rising

When Gods & Monsters was initially revealed in 2019 at Ubisoft’s E3 event, it was a title I couldn’t stop thinking about for the duration of the expo and well beyond. As the months passed by though, the radio silence would have me worried. As its initial release window of February 2020 started to approach, it became more apparent with the lack of information that this target wouldn’t be hit, and sure enough we would eventually get confirmation of a delay. The game has now finally resurfaced, and after having spent two hours with it as part of a hands-on event, Gods & Monsters – now known as Immortals Fenyx Rising – has come far since its reveal and may prove to be one of Ubisoft’s most beautiful, magical, and adventurous titles in a very long time.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising

Immortals Fenyx Rising, the title previously known as Gods & Monsters, is just a few months away. During the Ubisoft Forward event, it was officially announced that the will be available for Switch on December 3.

Here’s a whole bunch of information plus a couple of trailers:

Deltarune

Given the massive popularity of Undertale, many fans are looking forward to Deltarune, the next project from creator Toby Fox. Switch owners were given a taste of the game with the release of Chapter 1 for free back in February 2019. Since then though, there hasn’t been much in the way of updates.

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Undertale, this week’s issue of Famitsu has a big feature on the game. The same article provides a development update for Deltarune as well as a new look at Chapter 2.
