Upcoming Ubisoft Event to Announce Title Change for a Game?

From the Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla gameplay to a Watch Dogs: Legion preview, the first Ubisoft Forward event had it all. There were a multitude of game announcements and updates, but somehow, that wasn’t enough. They needed a whole new event because there were a multitude of announcements still waiting in store. The next event, scheduled for September 10, may have an interesting surprise in store for fans.

Gods and Monsters to see a name change?

‘God and Monsters‘, an upcoming game by Ubisoft, was announced at E3 2019. Its scheduled February release never happened because of the global pandemic. A lot has gone down since then, as the developers accidentally leaked a version of the game on Stadia. A spokesperson from Stadia then issued a statement to Kotaku, apologizing to Ubisoft.

“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 few hundred gamers were able to play it for less than 30 minutes. We sincerely apologise to our partners at Ubisoft for this mistake.”

Additionally, Ubisoft exec Marc-Alexis Cote spoke to Eurogamer, where he mentioned, “Our vision for the game formerly known as Gods and Monsters has evolved in surprising ways, which is common when developing exciting new worlds,” hinting towards the fact that the game may be getting a name change.

As reported by Gematsu, the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee recently rated a game called ‘Immortals: Fenyx Rising’. Interestingly, ‘Gods and Monsters’ follows the story of Fenyx, a forgotten hero who receives a quest by Zeus. This is proof enough that the original title has now changed to ‘Immortals: Fenyx Rising’

The other exciting trailers in tow

The trailer for the second event shows footage from Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad, Watch Dogs: Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Hyper Scape, and more. There may be additional announcements for these games and, quite possibly, some new announcements as well. The Pre Show starts at 11 AM PDT and the Main Show starts at 12 PM PDT.
