Ubisoft released Immortals Fenyx Rising last year as part of its holiday lineup, and it's officially getting its third narrative DLC "The Lost Gods" a lot sooner than many fans may have expected.
Immortals Fenyx Rising: The Lost Gods is releasing on April 22 as a standalone expansion, or as part of the Season Pass for those who bought into it. The new chapter follows a character known as Ash, who comes equipped with a brawler-inspired combat system, giving players some new ways to enjoy the game.
The third narrative DLC for Immortals Fenyx Rising continues the story from the main campaign rather than taking a completely new mythological turn like the last DLC, Myths of the Eastern Realm. In The Lost Gods, Ash will travel to the Pyrite Island in an effort to locate gods such as Poseidon and Hades so he can patch things up between them and Zeus in order to restore balance to the world. Gamers will observe the world of The Lost Gods from a bird's eye perspective rather than the over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective seen in the rest of the game.
The Pyrite Islands maintain their Greek themes and mythology in The Lost Gods, while building the new character Ash from an isometric perspective. Ash comes with a new progression system that allows players to create their own style and explore new parameters compared to Fenyx from the main campaign.
Giving players a glimpse into the upcoming DLC, Ubisoft has released an update for Immortals Fenyx Rising which introduces a new primer quest to the northeast part of the Golden Isle in the main game. The new quest includes new rewards that can be carried over to the DLC for players who end up purchasing it, or who already have the Season Pass.
Immortals Fenyx Rising fans who haven't checked out the first two narrative DLCs will have lots of content to catch up on once The Lost Gods releases. Those who haven't yet tried the new IP from the developer can also give its demo a try for free to see if the game and its DLC is for them. The new isometric perspective introduced with The Lost Gods is akin to games like Torchlight and Diablo, making it possible for Ubisoft to change up the game more significantly than the previous two narrative expansions. Considering Ubisoft is adding yet another hero to the Immortals Fenyx Rising pantheon, fans should leave the experience with at least one favorite.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
