Immortals Fenyx Rising follw-up details

A new report from Axios claims to have shed light on the cancelled Immortals Fenyx Rising follow-up with new details. This follows the news last month that Ubisoft had scrapped the project.

Here’s the full roundup of tidbits:

Mario Rabbids Sparks Hope sales studio

A lot has been made of the sales for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, with CEO Yves Guillemot previously saying that the game underperformed. He also recently spoke about how the company should have held off launch for the Switch’s successor.

Series producer Cristina Nava has now chimed in, and indicated that the studio isn’t concerned about the sales of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Like the previous entry, Nava believes turn-based tactual experiences are slow burners and this one “will grow” over the years.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope Rayman DLC

The much-anticipated Rayman DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is just on the horizon, with the release date set for this month. It’s officially known as “Rayman in the Phantom Show”.

Rayman will be the special guest in a mysterious dimension, the Phantom’s Space Opera Network. The Phantom from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is returning and is “asking for help to improve his channel’s ratings.” You’ll explore TV sets, “take part in dramatic battles, and lead your team to put on the best show ever.”

Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel

VGC is reporting that Ubisoft has cancelled plans for a sequel to Immortals Fenyx Rising. The site’s report is based on what it heard from “multiple development sources”.

Rumors of a potential sequel have popped up in the past. VGC says that Ubisoft Quebec did some early work on a new entry, “but company leadership ultimately decided to cancel it earlier this month due to perceived challenges around establishing the IP.”

The Settlers New Allies gameplay

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope - The Last Spark Hunter review

System: Switch
Release Date: June 21, 2023 (new DLC)
Developer: Ubisoft
Publisher: Ubisoft


2022’s Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope was an excellent evolution of its predecessor’s fast-paced, freeform strategy gameplay, and I’ve been eager to check out its DLC to have an excuse to play more of it. The Last Spark Hunter is significantly larger in scope than the run-based Tower of Dooom DLC from earlier this year, this time offering up a whole new planet to explore, a new antagonist, and even some new mechanics to shake up gameplay. But for players who have likely already sank dozens of hours into the base game, is the overall quality high enough to justify revisiting the world of Sparks of Hope?

The Settlers New Allies trailer

Ubisoft just brought The Settlers: New Allies to Switch, and we’ve got a new trailer to celebrate. The game has landed on consoles for the first time with adapted controls as well as fully supported cross-play and shared progression across all available platforms.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has spoken on the performance of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, and believes the company should have hold off on releasing the game until Switch’s successor launched.

Speaking with GamesIndustry, Guillemot mentioned how Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was already available on Switch, and the sequel resulted in “two similar experiences on one machine.” He further mentioned “Nintendo [has advised] that it’s better to do one iteration on each machine.”
