Gods & Monsters: Immortals Fenyx Rising (PC/PS5/XSX/PS4/XB1/NSW/STD) - December 3, 2020

[6souls]

From the creators of Assassin’s Creed® Odyssey comes a storybook adventure about a forgotten hero on a quest to save the Greek gods. Prove your heroism by fighting dangerous mythological creatures and taking on their fearsome leader in a face-off for the ages. Explore a beautiful fantasy world where tricky trials, treacherous dungeons, and heroic feats await. The journey will be as challenging and rewarding as the final destination, and you will emerge as the hero you are meant to become.

E3 2019 Demo Leaked on Stadia, Removed from Player's Access 30 Minutes Later

In this demo, climbing uses up a circular stamina bar - a direct copy from Zelda. Combat with big beasties (definitely not found in the real Ancient Greece) also looks similar to that found in Breath of the Wild. Here, the protagonist attacks using sword strikes and quaffs potions to refill a health bar.

The user interface - still placeholder - is lifted directly from Assassin's Creed Odyssey. There's the same compass at the top of the screen and menus showing its quest log.

Dialogue from the game references a mission to bring other gods to the game's world. Items include the Boots of Hermes, which let you double jump.

"Regretfully, on Thursday morning, we mistakenly made an E3 2019 demo version of Gods & Monsters from Ubisoft available on the Stadia store that was not intended for the public to play," a Stadia spokesperson said. "A few hundred gamers were able to play it for less than 30 minutes. We sincerely apologise to our partners at Ubisoft for this mistake."

So tons of preview footage/impression coming out:

I watched some of the gameplay and the combat reminded me of the older God of War games.

I've put in about 20h and am liking it a good deal. The writing/humor is kind of meh, but the gameplay is fun enough.

Going off SkillUps review, I think I'm going to get the game...seems like a lot of fun

[Botosi]

This is the one game I’ve actually been interested in checking out for the longest time.

Seems like it could be a lot of fun, but it being from Ubisoft and having buyable DLC content off the bat turns me off.

Is there a decent enough endgame to it?

[Cail]

From what I gather, its just a game to play. Not a "games-as-a-service" continuing game. Not 100% though
