Immortals Fenyx Rising (then still called Gods & Monsters) from the very announcement evoked persistent associations with the cult hit of Nintendo, and by the time the similarities became more common.

At the same time, the developers from Ubisoft Quebec claim that when creating Immortals Fenyx Rising, they were inspired not only by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but also by other cult adventure action games.

Blumenthal’s cutscene demonstrates how similar it is in both games to climb vertical surfaces, run and glide from great heights – both in Immortals Fenyx Rising and in Breath of the Wild, each of these actions consumes stamina.

Also, the journalist noticed similar mechanics of slowing downtime with timely evasion from a blow, taming horses, and unlocking new areas of the map.

Finally, Blumenthal could not fail to note the mechanics “Magnezis” (see the screenshot above), supposedly borrowed from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which was named “The Power of Hercules” in Immortals Fenyx Rising.

Immortals Fenyx Rising will be released on December 3 on PC (Uplay, Epic Games Store), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia. Previously, Ubisoft presented the release and preview trailers for the game.
