\"Immortals<\/a>(PC gameplay)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Last year at E3, the world was given the first look at a brand new, animated adventure from Ubisoft names Gods & Monsters<\/a>, and after a year’s worth of radio silence, we were finally treated to our first look at gameplay, along with a new take-it-or-leave<\/em> it name, Immortals: Fenyx Rising<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s no hiding the fact that Immortals is an open-world action-adventure that shares many similarities with one of our favorite Switch titles, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/a><\/strong>. However, to be fair, many of the elements that make Breath of the Wild the joy that it is were also inspired by many games that came before it, like the Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/strong> series. And as a matter of fact, the team behind Immortals, Ubisoft Quebec, actually developed Assassin\u2019s Creed Syndicate<\/a><\/strong> and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey<\/a><\/strong>. So we think they may know what they\u2019re up to.<\/p>\n

Last week, we were fortunate enough to go hands-on with the game for a whopping four hours and while, unfortunately, we streamed a PC build of the game and still have yet to see the game running on Switch hardware, it gave us a good look at what to expect when it arrives on shelves later this year.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019d expect, many gameplay elements from both Assassin\u2019s Creed and Breath of the Wild have been carried over. You\u2019re able to run, jump, swim underwater (more on that later), and climb anything you can set your sights on, as long as your stamina bar permits you. You\u2019re also given a number of weapons and abilities that will help you maneuver the terrain and take down enemies that stand in your way.<\/p>\n
