When Immortals Fenyx Rising first released, a lot of gamers looked at the open-world title and compared it heavily to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While the games did have similarities, many who picked up Immortals Fenyx Rising found that the Greek mythology-inspired game was more than just a clone, and had a lot of elements that made it worth playing. Enough people had this realization and bought the game to the point that Ubisoft allegedly began working on a sequel to Immortals Fenyx Rising.
