If you thought that the Immortals Fenyx Rising experience would start and promptly end on 3rd December 2020, you mustn't know how Ubisoft does things nowadays. The French publisher has today confirmed extensive post-launch support for the open-world title, taking the form of three pieces of DLC. All of them are story-driven and can be accessed either through the game's Gold Edition or season pass. Check out the trailer above for some context on each.
The first piece, titled A New God, takes place after the events of the main game and allows the protagonist to visit Olympus. Next up will be Myths of the Eastern Realm, which introduces a brand new hero to play as and steeps itself in Chinese mythology rather than the Greek islands found in the base game. Finally, The Lost Gods has another character to play as and actually switches up both gameplay and the camera angle. Interesting indeed.
There will also be free in-game events for everyone to participate in, daily and weekly quests to complete, dungeon challenges, and more cosmetics to unlock. This all sounds like the style of approach Ubisoft has taken with its massive Assassin's Creed series. Lots of content at launch and even more afterwards — both free and paid for. Cool!

As expected as the sun rising. Will snag the gold edition when it hits regular price next year sometime!
As long as the expansions are fully-fledged and justify being released for extra dosh after the game is done and dusted, I’m cool with it. What I don’t like are MTX, on-disc DLC and general scumminess. I’ve been buying DLC since The Sims 1 and I consider these sorts of expansions the best out of the many different approaches to DLC.
I think my new enemy starts to be "open world". I didn't care for dlcs or post-launch content. I care for content at time of playing. So... every game has my only chance. And because I don't like MMOs because of it's "neverending" , it seems open worlders starts to be plagued by this also... pitty.
The Stadia demo was disappointing. AC: Valhalla is the better open world game in every way and at the same price point.
This is in the "wait for a Uplay sale" column. Get everything for cheap.
I always enjoy ubisoft games they tend to do a decent job on most of the DLC. if someones enjoying the game and they want more then this is the ideal situation.
I'm looking forward to it. Assuming I enjoy the main game, I will look into the extra content. If this is good, I hope Ubisoft will explore other mythologies in future games in the same style, and the Myths of the Eastern Realm expansion seems to hint at that.
This shows that we will never see a new complete Ubisoft game. Their games will always be liveservice so its easy to wait for a few months for a big discount.
And the wait begins...
Am I the only one who dislikes this game that much? The animations and the moving, character design, worlddesign etc etc is looking so bad to me I cannot get it how this should be a good game in the end. You can tell the story in 5 words thats it. Nothing for me sorry.
@ORO_ERICIUS
You ARE the only one! What are the odds???
I’ll be getting this when there’s a complete edition on sale for $30.
@Octane I was always waiting, but now I have even more reason to wait.
Meanwhile i have $99 eShop credit put away for HW: AoC and a season pass but they still haven't announced anything yet. I refuse to believe that game won't have DLC. amiibo don't count.
Demo is back up on Stadia if anyone wants to give it a go for free!
Got the Gold edition for the Switch but they don't have one for ps5...
I dont like everything that ubi does, but they definitely put alot of content in their games. I dunno about this game yet but i really like AC origins and odyssey. Enough to get the plat for both of them and that took a lot of time.
@redd214 I expect the Gold/Complete Edition to be around $40 by Black Friday 2021!
Which means by 2022 it should be $20 or cheaper.
Picked up the Xbox SX version for £35 pre-order. That’ll do me. But I bet like AC: Valhalla it runs better on the PS5.
